We Are Not Alone by Kathleen O’Keefe-Kanavos

We Are Not Alone
Even in our Battle against Cancer
Cancer is Humbling. It is guaranteed to knock you down with its series of crisis, beginning with discovery and continuing through treatment, often with no end in sight. Upon hearing a diagnosis of breast cancer many women feel devastated, confused and alone. However, nothing could be farther from the truth: We are never alone!
If you are reading this article, odds are good that you or a loved one has been knocked down by illness and you are searching for answers that include and go beyond scientific facts.
I know because I am a two-time, ten-year breast cancer survivor who found out the hard way that not all cancers are discovered by conventional medical tests. Intuition can play an important part in diagnosis.
I am a wife, teacher and a psychic who always suppressed her supernatural skills. Fortunately, I am under the watchful eye of much more than my doctors. I am under the protection of “spiritual-guides” who were at odds with my doctors and the tests they relied on. My story explores my search for a cure for cancer by challenging medical authority with serious information from the psychic realm, accessed by meditations and dreams and how I found my life saving “inner selves” in the process. This same process can be used by anyone concerning any life concerning crises.
The first time I had cancer, rather than believing the test results that came back negative, suggesting that the lump I had discovered four months earlier in my breast was just “in my head,” I summoned the courage to defy doctors and used everything available in this world and the next, to save my life. The doctors and tests on which they relied had missed the 2.1cm tumor that was Stage Two cancer- invasive ductal carcinoma which had already infected one lymph node.
It’s time to stop ignoring ourselves. No matter what stage of treatment someone is in, patients and their families should listen to their intuition when it doesn’t jive with the expert’s advice. It’s time to let that inner voice guide every decision to be made about the health of the patient, then use modern medical tests and evaluations to validate what that voice is saying: Listen, believe, and then validate! The inner voice that I listened to was a special but familiar one, and it literally saved my life. Listening to your inner voice may save your life, too.
Spiritual guides, angels, intuition, gut instincts, call them what you will, ‘voices’ have gotten a bad rap in society (just ask Joan of Arc.) Yet in addition to saving my life, they were a comfort to me while I underwent surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. Without the intervention of those voices, I believe I would be dead and my story buried. They are as much a part of my battle with cancer as the medical staff and treatments. Their “inside information,” imparted through dreams and meditations, proved that they often knew more about my cancer than the doctors and tests revealed.
After multiple mammograms, blood tests and physical exams over a three month period, I should have been diagnosed with cancer, but the tests were negative. My lump was invisible to the medical community with whom I consulted. However, my persistent self advocating with the unwavering help of my “spiritual guides” finally resulted in convincing my doctor to perform surgery on a spot that he couldn’t feel and the tests didn’t show. During one of my many dreams,my guides had armed me with an angel feather to fence with against my doctor’s indisputable medical information. My feather-fencing worked. I convinced my doctor to perform an operation I knew I needed, even though it was against hospital policy and his better judgment. The result was a diagnosis that shocked the medical community and changed my life, forever.
One of my biggest and most pressing challenges throughout this ordeal was in deciding whom to trust…..
