Turns out there was cancer in my brain, lungs, and liver. For the most part, it’s now out of my brain, and initial follow-up scans show signs of healing and no new growth. 🙂

Treatment for the other spots remains ongoing, and every day is different. Some painful, some sad, some slow and happy. Maybe they were always like that.

Through all of this, I continue to learn a lot about myself, health care, relationships, and time. I also learned a few fun facts, like how sharks have a high immunity against cancer, and so I’ve been inviting Shark energy to come feast on mine. I now have shark sheets, a beautiful handcrafted shark tooth necklace, shark blankets, and shark cozies.

Last weekend, the owner asked me about the Shark tooth necklace at the laundromat. When I told him the reason behind it, he loaded my laundry card and said it was the least he could do.

Shark Magic.

I never paid much attention to Sharks, but now they appear in many places I go, and each time they appear, I feel a bit calmer and more protected.

Funny how that works.

Perspective.

I don’t wish cancer on anyone, but I do hope we all find our Shark Magic.

My Zara with our sharks. 🙂
