Hello and welcome to my first blog post ! My name is Nathalie, and I’m here to share my journey of Cancer Triumpher Transformation, from surviving breast cancer to becoming a life coach.. After my own battle with breast cancer, I felt a strong calling to support women navigating this challenging journey. This blog is a space where I’ll share my experiences, offer guidance, and connect with all of you who are seeking support, hope, and empowerment during and after breast cancer. In this first post, I want to share a bit about my story and why I’m so passionate about this work.
I’m 49 years old and I live in France. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in September 2022 after returning from an amazing visit to Egypt. As you might imagine, it shattered my world. I had plans—I was about to start a new psychology training in London, my company was thriving, and I was finally earning enough to live comfortably. All of this changed in the blink of an eye. At first, I thought I could manage my business while undergoing treatment, but it didn’t turn out that way.
I went through two rounds of chemotherapy paired with immunotherapy, followed by surgery (a mastectomy), then radiotherapy, and another round of chemo and immunotherapy. I won’t go into the intimate details of how excruciating this journey was, but strangely, it brought about an existential crisis that gave me a deep understanding of what had led me there. I firmly believe that cancer, beyond environmental factors, diet, and lifestyle, is linked to personal traumas and deep wounds that have not healed.
During my treatment, I navigated this journey alone, not wanting to share in a group setting. Looking back, I realize that I would have liked to connect with others in an online group or one-on-one sessions with someone who had lived through a similar experience. I often felt a lack of information or couldn’t relate to the stories of ‘wonder women’ who managed to keep running during chemo. This added to my sense of guilt—guilt that stayed with me for a long time. I questioned what I had done to my body and mind to trigger this illness. But as I moved through treatment, I met incredible people and reconnected with a spiritual sensitivity that I had lost for many years. That feeling that you’re being guided, accompanied, and that something wonderful is happening—even when it’s indescribable.
I wanted to share my journey and help you connect with that spark inside you.
That’s why I wanted to share my journey and help you, in all humility, to connect with that spark inside you. Initially, I’m creating a Facebook community where everyone can come and share their doubts, questions, joys, and fears. As soon as everything’s in place, I’ll be sure to let you know. In the meantime, I’d love to hear from you—please share your thoughts or experiences in the comments below. Take care of yourself. 🌸
