She delved into her personal experience with breast cancer, from the initial diagnosis to the various treatments she underwent, including chemotherapy, mastectomy, and radiation.Dianne also shared how she used energy medicine to navigate the side effects of chemotherapy and other treatments. She emphasized the importance of self-advocacy and understanding one's body, especially when dealing with a complex and often misunderstood condition like inflammatory breast cancer.We discussed the concept of energy medicine in detail, including the nine energy systems, such as meridians, auras, and chakras. Dianne provided insights into how she assesses and balances these energy systems in her clients using techniques like energy testing and muscle testing.Dianne's book is a valuable resource for cancer patients, survivors, and their loved ones. It offers practical tools and techniques to manage the physical and emotional challenges of cancer treatment.
