Don't Give Up! Grow Through the Narrow Spots in Life with Ruth Bachman

In February of 2003, Ruth Bachman was a left-handed woman, wife, and mother in apparent good health. She ate reasonably well, was physically active, had annual checkups, practiced meditation and yoga, attended church regularly, and volunteered in the community. Today, she is all of those things plus the grandmother of 4; except now, after diagnosis and treatment of soft tissue sarcoma, she is a right-handed amputee with a renewed purpose for life, which is a mission to share a message equipping individuals with the perspective and resources necessary to navigate the inevitable changes that occur in life, by design or by happenstance, while recognizing the powerful potential for transformation by embracing “what is”. Ruth has climbed mountains, written an award-winning book, been a survivor advocate, and spoken to a wide variety of audiences; contributing her time, her resources, and her talents to fostering the collaboration of the science that heals the body, with the critical role that mind, and spirit play toward that end. ✨A few highlights from the show: 1. Rein In Sarcoma-https://www.reininsarcoma.org/ 2. There are many types of sarcoma. Yet, it is rare and often misdiagnosed. 3.

I did not have any prior health concerns or issues. Fast forward, the dreaded cancer diagnosis opened my eyes, introduced me to my purpose, and lead me to where I am today. As a Cancer Doula, I use my 11 years of experience with cancer to support and guide others diagnosed with cancer. Many people are not familiar with what a cancer doula is. Think of me as a personal health care advocate.
