Snippet from the New Book: Anchor For My Soul
From the many years of counselling others, I have found that when you
tell a story three times, that story…that event, loses its power over you. I am going to tell my story so that I am
freed from this negative trauma of my past.
I want to walk into the future without scabs, bruises or tears.
Something traumatic happened to me.
It was something far worse than being given a diagnosis of cancer. It came as a terrible storm, a violent
explosion of suppressed jealousy, hatred and anger. A
haematologist with a god-complex looked at something he did not understand, fought
with a doctor who had to defend herself, irrespective of the truth or
consequences of her lies, gave false information to my family that has had dire
significance for me, has ruined my family, and made me ashamed, humiliated and
embarrassed to be alive. It swept away
all that was civilised about a family.
If it were not for my mother, Professor Lynch of the University College
Hospital in London, Professor M du Toit of the Bone Marrow Unit, Cape Town, Dr
F Meyer and Dr Frieda Pienaar and her incredible team of specialists in
Bloemfontein, I would not be here to tell you this story. If you want to live and you have a serious
life-threatening illness, it is important to find a team of medical
professionals that want to save your life as badly as you want to live.
From my own experience, I know that it takes a lot more courage to live
than to die. My fervent prayer is that I
will continue to have the courage to choose life over death. My belief in a Higher Power and the
aforementioned people, have been the anchor for my soul.
