Hello Family, Friends & new Friends. My Name is Julie Wiebe & I was diagnosed with breast cancer of the right breast with metastasis to the lymph nodes on April 2019. Next month it will be 33 months living with cancer. I am a daughter, wife, mother, aunt, friend & I want to be here for my grandchildren when they come along. For almost 3yrs now, I eat, sleep, breathe & live all things related to cancer.
I follow a non-toxic protocol. Research has taught me it’s nutrition in & toxins out. I try to eat organic fruits & vegetables in the form of juices, smoothies & salads. I am a vegetarian except for a little wild fish & eggs. I eat broccoli sprouts (made by my husband in our pantry), Budwig protocol, garlic & lemon tonic, apricot kernels, medicinal teas & I take numerous supplements. I have listened to webinars, read health & self help books & researched cancer. I also try to move my body inside or outside of the house, do Qi Gong, meditate & try to limit stress. And weekly, I do acupuncture & mistletoe therapy. My team is me, my husband & my Naturopath Oncologist.
We have spent thousands & thousands of dollars on my health since I was diagnosed with cancer. So, to ease the financial burden on our family I started this GoFundMe page to help with my ongoing expenses including Naturopath Oncologist appointments, sessions of IV therapy treatments, Helixor injection therapy, many supplements, on-going cancer testing, acupuncture & more. This can add up to at times $2400/month. It's unfortunately a do or die situation.
It’s not like me to ask for help, but I feel it is something I have to do in order to heal. Standing up for myself & what I want is something I’ve struggled with my whole life. I am asking for help, please help!
Cancer is my wake-up call. Do I want to live or die? I choose to live! My life has done a 360 degree turn. I suffered from agoraphobia. I never went outside, saw the sun or moved my body. Now I love the outdoors, being in nature & feeling the sun’s warmth on my face & body. I move my body. I walk in trails & I’ve done four or five 11km challenging trail walks. I go barefoot on the earth (grounding) & I’m enjoying myself. No longer a shut-in by choice.
I’ve drastically changed my diet. No sugar, no dairy or meat. No processed food, fast food or junk food. I’ve lost 50lbs & see myself living healthy for the rest of my life. I never slept before. I was constantly stressed. I felt like I was on a hamster wheel with no way of getting off. Now I slow things down, meditate, do deep breathing & try my best to live in the present. Now I also sleep through the night. Wow! That’s a miracle.
Cancer can be a mental game. How do you keep your spirits up when you are facing mortality? It’s all about hope. I have hope. My husband has hope. I am better at dealing with life & life’s disappointments, past traumas & my limiting beliefs ingrained in me from childhood. Daily, I work on me or rather unravelling my mind to find the true me. I’m trying to forgive others, but ultimately I need to forgive myself for not being perfect. I just want to live a life of joy & find a way to give back to my family, friends & community.
I lived in Langley, BC pretty much my whole life. I graduated from UBC with a Bachelor’s of Music. My husband & I met in a marching band when we were 13 years old; however, we didn’t start dating until 7 years later. We have 2 amazing young adult children a year apart who we adore. I was a private music teacher for 19 years & I loved teaching music to children, teens & adults. I love writing. I love to sing. And I love animals. Our Ragdoll-Balinese cat is almost 17 years old. If I could I’d spend all my time in nature.
We have recently moved across Canada to the East Coast. Halifax is our new home now. Leaving family & friends, especially our children was enormously hard, but we needed to for financial & healing reasons. Now we live in the country, where we can (soon) grow our own organic food, we move at a slower pace & nature is just outside our front door.
If you’ve been touched by my cancer story please give. Thanks from the bottom of my heart.
Hugs Julie
