20.01.2022 Listening to your Body? Before I got the diagnosis my body was sending me signs to stop and listen. But No- to busy in my business-Growing, Giving and I will put Griefing? Yes( more on that when I write my book) No time for listening to the most important asset we own- OUR BODIES... I preach about it all the times to everyone else. But hey that’s how most of us roll. So when the big news come around, and after the shock, tears whatever else came up. It was time for - What path to take to treat these hitch hikers As most know me I’m pretty Bloody Healthy and was right onto all the toxins that are in our Foods, Beauty Products, Cleaning products etc. So when I had to make a decision to put Chemo in my body. It was tough. My Gut told me No. You can do this Naturally. But I guess fear took over and I thought maybe I need Chemo I can’t do this ? So off we go. And I have been extremely lucky( actually not luck) I have given 99% to everything I have been told to do to create space within my body so it can heal. Even with the chemo But we have hit a road block. A liver enzyme is high- probably due to Chemo So this time I have stopped, listened to my body and taking time out to rest my body. For now it’s only a month. Then we will see what happens. There is no book to read to say what is right or wrong Yes people would say there are the Drs they know? Yes they know a lot. But I encourage people to do your own research and take control of your Own Bodies I hope by me sharing my story helps someone else that is on this journey to know your not alone and listen to your body and Put yourself first Enjoy this Amazing Thursday Sue This photo was when I finished a 1/2 Marathon in Litchfield. Was told by numerous people it’s to tough, hard not to do it. But deep down I new I was tougher. Yes it was toughbut the lesson learnt - I’m tougher and listen to your body #positivecancerjourney #cancer #cancernt #cancercouncilaustralia

19.01.2022 Starting my day with a 5km Run. It’s not about how far you run. It’s about just getting out there in the fresh air and been able just to run To me that’s an achievement in its self... It’s really like anything we try or would like to do. Just give it a go.Start slow and just enjoy it Have yourself a great Friday #positivecancerjourney #running #Cancer

18.01.2022 Yes I got busy livingbut I also got 150%committed to this journey Changed my diet Gave up coffee Very little Alcohol Have a green juice daily... Reiki Meditation Vitamins Exercisejust got my a Exercise Physiologist plus go to IOF sessions And one of the biggest work I have done work on-my mindset dailyand spent loads on. Which I’m very grateful for So this seems to be working for me, so if anyone out there going through this #cancerjourney happy to have a chat and share my tips. I think if I’m willing to put liquid gold- also known as toxic chemo in my bodyI should be willing to do whatever it takes to heal this amazing body I have This goes for any journey you are going through. Love your bodies enough to feed them good nutrition Exercise is not only good for you physically but mentally Health. And try to take 10 minutes out of your busy days to meditate the benefits are amazing Ok- have the best day #positivecancerjourney #cancer #darwincancercare

17.01.2022 One of the Hardest parts of this whole journey Telling my Family I have Stage 4 cancer with Mets and there is no cure I could sort of deal with it, but this was another story. I didn’t want to worry my Mum & Dad. I knew they would be sad and worry as they couldn’t be with us.... I remember talking to Jen on a daily basis about today’s the day. The tears would come and I just couldn’t do it. No one wants to put there family in pain and sadness. As life to me was all about living, being positive and Happy. So this was a whole new ball game. We had spoken to the Counsellor and for me to move forward it had to be done. Well the time had come I still remember it Lucky for FaceTime so at least we could see each other. Mum and Dad where pretty good, well that’s what they showed. But once I had told them a relief came over me. It was done. Time to move on. And move on we did. Yes Cancer sucks, and yes at times I thought I don’t want to die( who does) But at no stage did I think poor bugger me, or why me. Waste of bloody energy- I put that energy into finding every positive thing I could about Cancer, the foods I needed to eat and what other people did to get to Remission. And there is A LOT OUT THERE- SO DON’T EVER GIVE UP Back to the Family, we also asked Everyone to remain Positive about this whole journey. Might have been a big ask But I strongly believe- doesn’t matter what your situation/ journey is- it’s how you look, act, view and think makes big difference in how your days play out. That’s not to say you don’t have dark times. I’m not superwoman But your still living so why not just make the most of it Life’s a bit like the tide- you just got to keep rolling with it.- Whatever rolls in Grateful for choosing to live a Positive life #positivecancerjourney #remission #cancer #cancernt

15.01.2022 Just hanging out here- Opening up to let the goodness in Majority of the time it’s all Health and Happiness- but as I’m only human some things do get me down a bit.... So I thought I would share my thoughts. Who knows someone else might be going through the same journey and it just might help them Most of my journey, one thing that really gets to me. Is when I feel pain or something just doesn’t feel rightmy first thought is more cancer or it is back I think this is pretty normal for people on this journey. But it does suck and I might add I have been proven wrong. Which is a good thing So I have been really working on my thoughts and what I’m sending out to the universe. As what thoughts we send out the universe finds more of those thoughts, things to match and send back It’s called The law of attraction. Fascinating when you read about it Just takes a lot of practice- but it’s just like working on your biceps. They don’t get toned over night but with commitment and hard work they do appear. I’m working on them too Well that’s my little bit of insight for a Sunday Off to the winery now for some delicious food, entertainment and maybe a Take care, live life and always remember YOU can change your thoughts. It just takes practice and time #positivecancerjourney #estherhicks #thoughtsbecomethings #cancer #cancernt #bichenotasmania

08.01.2022 Sometimes your day can get a bit overwhelming Our lists seem like there never ending and to hard. Or not so nice thoughts come into your mind One thing that works for me is Meditation. It’s not always easy to relax. But if I can get 1 good minute I feel so much better.... Does anyone do meditation or what works for you to calm your mind

06.01.2022 I have got very creative with my Breakfasts Lots of people are asking what I think is working for me. One I believe is my diet. I’m on a pretty strict mostly plant based diet. (I miss bacon)From my Nutritionist At first it was hard, but Im getting very creative as I go along. As I can only have eggs 3 times a week and special toast The way I look at it is- if I’m prepared to put toxic Chemo in my body I should be prepared to do anything.... And this is working so let’s keep going Have the best Weekend guys. #positivecancerjourney #cancer #ntcancercouncil

04.01.2022 - Just sitting here for a minute, after a great live session with InsideOut Fitness

01.01.2022 Just thinking before the session how great it feels to be back teaching When I first got diagnosed I pretty much gave up the sessions as my first thought was I’m going to get really sick and want be able to take the sessions. And was told to go home and pretty much via palliative Care and get a supply of drugs Well touch wood I am handling this chemo ( liquid gold ) pretty well. And my goal is to continue down that positive track. Not saying everyday is great.... I have my times when I cry or feel sick. But I bounce back and keep going. To be honest I was scared for a bit to return as I can’t do as much as I used to. And that really upset me for a bit But then I got over myselfand thought about all the wonderful people I just might help to inspire to get active and feel better about themselves So Thank youto all the trainers and members of our beloved IOF COMMUNITY for all your support I reckon I’m back for a few more sessions. #Positivecancerjourney #darwincancercare #cancer
