Love, Light and Mermaid Tails: One Woman's Healing Journey Back to Wholeness Through Stage Four Cancer (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781548312923)

I am Fi Munro - 'Health Blogger of the Year 2017'; Macmillan Cancer Support 2017 'Sir Hugh Dundas Volunteer of the Year Award'; Scottish Fundraiser of the Year 2016; award winning PhD researcher and author. I'm also a yoga teacher; reiki and crystal therapist; self-care mentor and, now, a trainee shamanic practitioner. I've been feature in two BBC documentaries, on BBC Radio, STV news, ITV Live at Five, national newspapers and more! In January 2016, aged just 30 years old, I was diagnosed with non-genetic stage four ovarian cancer. There is no stage five. At the time of diagnosis my cancer was terminal. Life before cancer had seen me working as an award winning researcher specialising in healthcare. Using my expertise as a researcher I dedicated my time to understanding everything I could about my diagnosis and prognosis. I was not prepared to be a statistic. I was not prepared to die. I was going to be the change. In the months that followed, understanding my diagnosis, recovery and health became my full time job. The more I researched, the more I uncovered about the possible causes of cancer. Not a single stone was left unturned as I examined every aspect of my life and, guided by my instinct, I began to make changes. And do you know what? Today I am healthier than I'd ever been before and I know that I have to share with others what I did to change my life, the wonderful lessons cancer brought me and why I am grateful and give thanks for my diagnosis every single day that I'm alive to tell my story. We all face adversity. Each and every day brings new challenges and sometime despair. But life an adventure waiting to be embraced. It is possible to live a grateful life through adversity. At any given moment we can decide 'this is not how my story ends' and begin to rewrite our story. Cancer taught me how to live a fulfilling life. Rather that making me fear death, it taught me how to love life and how to live each day full of joy and laughter. I want to share with you how cancer has healed my life; the wonderful lessons it has brought me; and why I am grateful and give thanks for my diagnosis every single day that I'm alive to tell my story. My books are a guide for everyone, not just those with cancer, who wants to embrace a healthier and self-caring approach to their life. It explores how you too can embrace a life with complete physical, mental and emotional health. May they bring you hope, peace and, above all, joy. Love and light to all xxx
