EPISODE 108 | What Surviving Stage 4 Ovarian Cancer Taught Her with Cheyenne England

Y’all, go ahead and grab your tissues now. Today we’re talking to Cheyenne England about her miraculous healing journey. In late October 2020, at 38 years old, Cheyenne was diagnosed with stage 4b high-grade serous epithelial ovarian cancer. Cheyenne is not only a cancer survivor, but she’s a mother, daughter, sister, aunt, friend, and teacher. She’s been a teacher for 16 years in Tennessee, and she comes from a long line of strong women who have bravely fought cancer. I’ll go ahead and tell you now that she is considered cancer free after six months which included debulking surgery and 6 rounds of chemo, followed by two years of a maintenance chemo pill. But with how her cancer had spread and her family history of cancer, the odds seemed stacked against her. As you listen to Cheyenne’s story, you’ll travel the ups and downs of emotions right there with her as she details what she experienced, from having to trust and advocate for herself when she thought something may be wrong, to a quick movement through the healthcare system, surgery, chemo, and at the same time healing pieces of herself from her sister’s death from breast cancer in 2012. After Cheyenne tells her story, she details for us the mental and emotional aspects of the journey, how she handled them, and what the absolute most important things were that helped with the healing process. This episode is as much about mindset as it is about what actually happened. And as you listen, you’ll see how tiny things aligned in the right time to ensure Cheyenne is here with us today. When you think about everything that had to come together in the way it did, it’s nothing short of a miracle.Then and now, her greatest joy is her son, whom she has been blessed to travel with this year, celebrating life, and going on adventures before he starts school.Heads up, you’ll hear Cheyenne’s dogs barking through some of this interview — they also totally wanted in on this inspiring episode!
