Margaret Elenis is a mom and business owner fighting stage 4 cancer. She was first diagnosed at age 28, putting herself into remission without the use of drugs. But once it came back, it was time to take a more integrative approach. She’s incredibly connected to her intuition, her voice, and looks fear dead in the face as she takes an untraditional path to heal. She shares the raw reality of doctors refusing to work with her, not having familial support of her choices, and what it’s like to juggle being sick with all the other hats she wears. 

 

In this episode Margaret spills:

• What inspires her to keep going

• Her alternative- not socially accepted- approach to fighting cancer
• Her reasoning to refuse mastectomies 
• The effect of pregnancy on the return of her cancer and why it’s a choice she’d make a 1000 times over.
• How to ask questions and be confident when speaking to doctors
• What it’s like to be “high risk” and be denied care by doctors
• The small things that keep her going each day
