As a returned soldier from WW2 from New Guinea my uncle aged 25 was diagnosed with lung problems from chemical exposure, he had one lung removed and was given maximum a year to live, the medical profession were not sure !! Most of the young men he served with died within a couple of years of returning to Australia. He died at age 94, he lived a great life, he had a great attitude and served others.

Thank you for sharing this story!

Wow thx for sharing

Thank you for sharing this story it's giving hope to many! ❤️🙏Blessings7

Thank you for being a live example and great inspiration for all of us. Amazing!

Thank you.

This is one of the most beautiful talks I’ve ever heard. It has really inspired me to live. I will practice what she has taught on this video. I have lived the past 20 years with a chronic health condition. Many times wishing not to live. I would say many times ,I’m not living I’m just existing. By the help and grace of God no more just existing,I will live!

💕

You spoke my soul after viewing this! So true that this is one of the blessings of the internet can bring!

Joyce- check out The Plant Paradox. You would be amazed how nutrition can help- not a cure for everything, I get it but it is amazing. I healed two major health issues. This book is great.

I feel the same- this one brought tears!

Me too Joyce...may God Bless you for managing things...

I had brain cancer in 1988 and removing the tumor left me paralyzed on one side and grossly overweight from all the steroids. The doctor said don’t worry about it because you’re gonna die in a year or two. Here I am moving all of my parts, however not that well on one side, and a size 6. I’m pretty happy with my life but it was a bit of work to get there. God bless you for who you are and how you are helping us around the world with this platform. Blessings, DrRed ❤️

🌟

Glad you’re here and doing better. God bless you

Amen

thats beautiful

Stage 4 colon and liver. Out of the blue, March this year. This lady beautifully and bravely articulated how I feel about my life right now. I felt my diagnosis was an amazing opportunity to transform. I couldn't have talked as she did, without tears. Much respect and love to her 🙏

Wishing you all the best ❤

@MsCatalicious thank you 🙏

you go Ben

@Just Here Nothing Thank you! 🙏

God bless you sir!

Kjos has a beautiful message. I was diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer that had spread to my liver at age 49. It was difficult to accept, especially since I have two beautiful, young daughters. But, with the help of my amazing wife, I decided to live my life seeking the joyful moments, which there are many. I have come to realize that I love life! And nothing will take that feeling away from me while I am alive.

Your daughters will always have amazing memories of you. Best wishes with your treatment.

This is a great wake up call. Other people negatively effect my life. I’m 64 and I have allowed this to happen. People taking advantage of me. Saying yes to requests every time and putting myself last, not noticing life slipping by. I lost my eldest son in 2020 with COVID. A 40 year old ultra runner. He was there and then he wasn’t. I still haven’t changed,but finding this video today is like a nudge from life telling me to sort myself out. Thank you Elin , you look radiant by the way.keep the faith

Oh...sorry for your loss, may God give you comfort and strength, take good care of yourself, your son would want to see you happy for sure!

@Ofelia S thank you Ofelia take care

So sorry about your son. You are strong because I'll unravel and die of sorrow in your situation. Life passes by you so fast. You need to learn to say no with a smile and take care of yourself first and learn to enjoy life before it's too late. I'm a 63-year-old man BTW.

🕊

Patricia, God bless you

Stage 4 Metastatic Lung Cancer patient here. Thank you. I like to say I'm LIVING WITH CANCER - It's not a battle, it's a dance!

I pray you keep up the same spirit Randi, I send you love, good vibes & healing.

Much love ❤️❤️🙌👍

God bless ! Much love and light to you

Much love❤️

Erin, 6 days after your passing, I found this video 20 minutes ago. It has changed my life. Perhaps everything in yours led to your TED talk and the legacy you have left will reach thousands. Wherever you are, from this woman to you- thank you. XX

II had a brain tumor and had surgery, radiation therapy, and then about twelve months of chemotherapy. Already with the diagnosis I started to meditate and change my focus. After the diagnosis I came home and wrote on a piece of paper:" I am healthy." I have since meditated on the resulting new beliefs in my new world hundreds of times over the past two and a half years. I believe that I also owe it to this circumstance that I am healthy and tumor-free today and will remain so. Everything I did was exactly right and I agree 100% with this wonderful, strong woman. Life is only now and no one knows how long we will be given. Live fully and only in and for the now, so that it is good for you and others. Be and spread love and peace. Stop postponing anything, anything at all, into the future. You never know how long is still given to you. Try the meditations of Doctor Joe Dispenza, maybe they are helpful for you maybe not. You will only know if you try. In any case, they have helped me a lot.

Like animals... our cats and dogs don't ask themselves if they will stay be living next Christmas... They live now, and if it's good now... live is good :)

I agree with you Michael, the meditation and to focusing the good thing in our life is an effective help for ourselves. My experience, if I ask advice from doctors, they describe more meds . Well, meditation has no side effects!!

Thank you!

🙏🏻

“my love for life is so much stronger than my fear of dying”. such powerful words, what an amazing individual

And how can something so devastating happen to someone so amazingly good. She was fit and healthy. Which is just crazy to me. It’s so unfair. She is absolutely stronger then me. What an amazing inspiration she is.

Yes very powerful words! Such journey she has been thro. She said she changed her diet, gave up red meat etc, I did so too decades ago. So happy for her she is doing so much better.

I hope she pulls through. She has a big heart.

So 💪🏽

Rest in peace Elin! I hope we can live and learn from your words like you lived your last years in this life ❤

A car knocked me off from my bicycle 18 months ago. Coma, mobility issues, vertigo, deafness....the Doctor said I had 20% chance to stay alive. ...but I was alive 🥰🙏. 3 months later I was diagnosed with cancer...but I was still alive...Guys....we are here at this beautiful Earth 😊, every day is a gift. Thank you for this video♥️♥️♥️

thank you for you're beautiful words

@Radya Shail thank you Radya 🥰

Very happy to hear this ,still riding?

inspiring and energizing.. To live is indeed to embrace each moment, every single second in the 'now'. What has gone isn't going back.

♥️

What a beautiful story! What a wonderful woman ! My story is more of less like hers , ik was diagnosed with ovarian cancer with metastases in 2021, after chemotherapy and an operation with Hipec.. I had bad expectations according to the medical stuff but fortunately I’m doing well🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Being positive is key and being grateful for everything has happened in my life.❤️🙏🏻❤️

Good for you!

I truly believe you will get well

hope you will be fine.

May good health continue to be your portion...

The possibility of healing from the inside is limitless.

She nailed it!! Just diagnosed stage 4 melanoma . I'm embracing it and working on my inner self. Living in the moment! I needed this wake up call in my life cause I wasn't living like I needed to.

wishing you a beautiful future.

🙏

I too have stage IV metastatic melanoma. They gave me 3 years tops yet it's been 7+ years and I am still waking up everyday and I have transformed and now feel like Elin. Cancer changed my life in an incredible good way.

Prayers 🙏🏾 You are courageous.

@Eran Bair sending prayers, courage and positive vibes, keep on keeping on 🌹✨️

I feel such respect and admiration for Elin Kjos. She took on the challenge of her illness with the same, fierce commitment she brought to training and sports.

I'm honestly alive and not living Watching this video makes me question so much in my life My work misery is consuming me everyday Not living in my purpose is creating insanity inside me Living shouldn't be this hard- right? I'm actively working towards changing my life and this video is part of my motivation All we have is now I am alive and I want to start living Thank you Elin for having the courage to share your life and showing us that fear is only a 4 letter word.

Be strong, you are not alone.

I found the higher power in my struggles >< hope the best for you

You are surrounded by others that need a best friend. Be that friend.

Your story is my story too

She looks beautiful, her attitude towards life is beautiful. Her thriving speech will keep on motivating many of us over the time I'm sure. I wish her the best of best . Seeing people like her facing the menace of Cancer, I feel to educate myself, others in our ability & beyond to know more about cancer and how to fight it in our every day life, how to use our skills for cancer research

My fiance was 31 in December 2020, diagnosed with stage IV cancer after months and months of misdiagnoses and being silenced by the medical community. I am so glad you are here to speak your truth. My fiance wasn't so lucky, the time to react having passed because nobody would take him seriously. He passed away 5 months later. I miss him so much 💙😭

❤️

I'm so sorry.That must have been so difficult, and worse yet having his illness compounded by the frustration and outrage of having to deal with the incompetency of the medical community. I hope you will find peace and a way to deal with all of this. ❤

❤

❤

An Eye Opener for all of us... Who are busy either carrying hurt from the past or worrying about the future... She had taught me the actual meaning of living in present.... Living to the fullest..

I always worry about past traumas and future.

Hello my dear friend. I hope you're save over there?🍎 I hope this year bring prosperity love❤, joy and peace all over the world🌎. I would love us to be good friends in honesty and in trust so as time goes on it will bring something great for us in the future, hope you don't mind? I'm Engineer John Philip from Nashville Tennessee, where are you from if I may ask?

Psychologically, she is gone but her spirit is alive with those who she gave hope and courage to live and enjoy life even with cancer . My condolences to her family and loved one

Elin, you inspire! Thank you for reminding me that when I had a massive left-brain stroke that muted me except for two words, and the healthcare team said, "She will never be able to speak fluidly, and it will take her 8-9 months before she can speak," I chose to detach from the dis-ease rather than owning it, and within three days I could speak clearly. So, Elin, I reckon, it's time to to do my TedTalk! Thank you so much!!

Wow!! 👍🏽😊

yes as we say here in Ireland Fair play to you

Hello my dear friend. I hope you're save over there?🍎 I hope this year bring prosperity love❤, joy and peace all over the world🌎.

I'm Engineer John Philip from Nashville Tennessee, where are you from if I may ask?

A friend of ours was diagnosed cancer for a second time and was given 3 months to live. He and the family are the kind of living through what there is, the best and most simple way. He just told me " I really want to live to help her ( the wife) with the children". He is here for 14 years and the cancer is stationary since then. I wish to this marvelous young lady the best success in beating the disease. 🌼💜🙏

A very inspiring woman who also reminds me of a very good old friend. He always had a stressful, consumer-friendly and also superficial life until he was diagnosed with lymph gland cancer. A few months later we were taking a long leisurely walk through the woods and he said to me, obviously I had to get cancer to be able to enjoy the stillness and the beauty of the trees. Two or three weeks later I was at his funeral. I like to hike through the forest and sometimes I imagine that he is accompanying me although I know full well that this is nonsense. I like the idea anyway.

It may or may not be nonsense, but how happy would he be to know that you are appreciating the beauty of the world and remembering him. This is how we evolve. This is how we learn what matters. ♥️

Wow, an inspiring story! One thing is sure: Everyone of us will die but nobody knows when that day will be. I think to be more grateful in life, it is important to realize that we are only on this planet for a brief period of time! Have a good and conscious life! To everyone who is reading this :)

Life maybe too short to waste it, but be assured that more life will be offered to you, all for the benefit of the evolution of consciousness, a flowering of the seed once planted on our blue planet in the name of love. 🌞🌏🌝

@Devon Seamoor That is truly beautiful. Thank you.

I couldn't imagine how much a person could be strong in this situation we should stand and praise you for this inspiring real story

It's all mind over matter

You are extremely brave and everyday I train myself to have your mindset. I too have an underlying health issue and was diagnosed with it at 26 but it is nothing as bad as yours. It's only when you see what others are going through, do your own sorrows seem small. I wish you a long and happy life.

What a wonderful story may God give her long blessed life .

I’ve watched this 3 times in 2 months and it stops me in my tracks each time. I’ve just seen it again now and I just clapped my hands and cried. Beautifully powerful and brave. Since I first saw this 3 friends have been diagnosed with serious cancers…. Another person I know had a head on collision on a motorbike and is fighting for her life…. If I take this over 3 years then my list would be even longer. We have no idea even 5 minutes ahead.. or if we say goodbye at the start of the day… if a loved one will return. We only have now…. I need to have this talk close.. because when all the fluff and nonsense hits my day and I feel fed up then I need to get perspective and gratitude. You are changing so many lives.. but we need your voice in our ears whenever we forget how precious life is and how we should greet each day with gratitude. God bless you….

This is FABULOUS! Exactly what I needed to hear today. Thank you so much for sharing your life story with us! ❤️

I heard this Ted talk 2 weeks ago. While walking, I was amazed how much passion she has towards her life. And how thrilled she is to share her knowledge with the world. I pray she gets a long and healthy journey to tell the 🌎🥲. Love from India🇮🇳❤️

Inspirational! Thank you for making this video available to so many to hear and learn from. Life can change in an instant right? And you mention not being present in the moment or now before your diagnosis....and your diagnosis has shown you the power of each and every moment of life - this is mindfulness! Such a powerful practice to incorporate into your life - daily. So Thankyou!

One of the best and most inspiring talks that I have seen. This is a tremendous realization that happened through "disaster", just when she thought everything was perfect. Looks like life just wants us to be more present and alive, this anecdote is very similar to what happened too many great mystics.

Needed to see this today , much gratitude , Rest in peace Elin

She was a very brave lady. Sad she lost her fight early but she gave it her best. Respect. x

Rest in peace beautiful Elin. Thank you for the strength you gave me when I found out about my own cancer.

What an inspirational woman!

wow, what a powerful message.... i am going through a challenging time, not due to a medical problem, but a familial and personal one... at times it feels like the end of the world, but seeing this video, it gives me courage to keep fighting, to keep living and finding purpose... thank you for spreading such wonderful words...

As a recent grad… I feel like I’m in limbo and I’ve been struggling to connect with people, feeling like I don’t have enough accomplished or I’m not interesting enough. This video was a much needed message to value this time and to not wait to live my life even though I haven’t started my career

❤️

glad you found the message...as someone who went straight to making a career after college, i can say that i wish i took time off to do some soul searching beforehand. it's hard to stop once you start, especially once you start a family. Best of luck, cheer, and take it easy.

yup, i think you describe a disease we all have, we cannot love ourselves and expect the world to love us, so we wait expectantly for love from outside.. we will wait forever, and never be satisfied luv yourself Sofi

The world is waiting for you and all your greatness. You are enough.

❤

I am deeply grateful for Elin Now. If we could soften into the moment and feel the things we felt so excited to feel as children. Wonderment that exists in the beautiful unknown. Remember when we knew that it was more fun not to know? That living in the present is the gift? Here we are Now🥰♥️ Elin, dear friend, SiStar, you look radiant. I am a holistic therapist studying wellness and I see you thriving beautifully Now. Your grace is heart warming and I am sending you sooo Much Luvvv😍 I will join you in meditation this evening and send your inspiration around the globe🌈🌏☮️🥰♥️

Bravo!! I want to thank you for this calm, beautiful, authentic talk. I am a survivor too, but in very different ways and became a spiritual life coach..I LOVE that such a coach gave you the tools to see life differently. speaking my language! I will pray for your long, happy life!

R.I.P. Elin❤ what a beautiful speech you gave. Your words will live on

Do you mean the speaker is dead?

@Damilare Idowu Yes😪 she passed away in march

Yours words tell me "never give up", you really inspired me to live and not only survive. Thanks for your great words!

Elin,You are an inspiration,👏🏻 We are all sending love and positivity towards you❤.Thank you for helping every one of us, who thinks we are having a bad day, to get a grip and be grateful for the moment.

With that energy, I'm 100% sure you will make it Elin. Congrats, people like you makes this world with full of impossiblities worth living.

Elin. Thank you so very much for sharing, until now, I have not found such an inspirational presentation. Your story has reeduced me to tears, tears of inspiration “my love for life is so much stronger than my fear of dying”. I have survived three strokes since 2018; the most recent in January of this year has been the most devastating. Since January 5 of 2022, I have faced the overwhelming fear of another stroke, that could be worse. I am truly inspired to live life. I am truly grateful.

There is such a beauty shining through you, not only physical beauty but also the beauty of your soul and your heart with every word you were speaking and expressing in this amazing talk!!! There is a light and a strength that is so strong and a humbleness that you are radiating, dear Elin! Thank you so much for sharing your story, the lessons of your healing journey and for showing us, the world, the transformed new you that you have become and are becoming!! You have the spirit of a spiritual warrior and the courageous heart of an athlete who has learned to understand what truly winning means…and that is so priceless and inspiring!! I’ve been through one of my worst years in my life last year and it’s a huge miracle that I’m still alive and in a much, much better place by now… I am on my own healing journey and so grateful to be allowed to learn and be inspired by such beautiful and courageous souls like you are…!! I’m looking forward to the time when I will be able to say that that year was the best year of my life… What kept me going was the strong desire to be able to help people one day so that all the suffering and major Traumata have happened for a higher purpose, for a reason not only to transform myself but to be of service to others as well. Yes, and you are right, what am I waiting for? Why not start living it NOW? …You are living it already… Thank you again!! Sending much love, light and many more blessings and miracles as you are realizing your highest potential and purpose that you came here to experience …🙏💖✨💫🌟❣️

For me the insignificant health issues were headaches, balance issues and weak legs. The conversation with the doctor took place in February 2019. For me the diagnosis was incurable brain tumor and took place in the hospital bed as I just suffered from another epilepsy. I was almost incapable of telling my parents, brothers, wife and 3 kids about it as I was in shock. Now having undergone 2 major brain surgeries, radiotherapy and currently going through my second chimiothérapie I managed to replace fear and anger by gratitude. I am grateful as this experience allowed me to appreciate every aspect of my life, even if they seem negative at first. The relationships with my family and friends are more intense and intimate than they have ever been. My lessons from this: Don't compromise the present for the future. Don't confuse joy (short-term, partial and insignificant) with happiness (long-term, meaningful and holistic)

That was absolutely beautiful ❤ It was a pleasure to listen to and I wish you all the best for the future 🙏 stay strong

Fabulously calm. Crystal clear. Purely motivational.

This is inspiring, no wonder it resonates with so many. I call it " Live while you're alive, Carpe Diem" I'd love to hear from you ten years from now, and I'm sure I will. Elin, you rock. Stay strong, stay charged, stay positive

A truly inspirational life lesson, a reminder that life can be unpredictable and that we should enjoy every moment, care for ourselves, care for the ones in our life. Thanks Elin for this emotional talk and I wish you a long and happy life ahead.

Elin such a beautiful way to live. “ I was supposed to be dead” resonates with me so much. I was healed of a Mass that was on my left lower lung. I was also healed of granular lung disease which I never even knew that I had. I believe in the Power of Prayer, Meditation and a Healthy Lifestyle. I too have been on a Healing Journey since July 1st 2016. My journey started the day that I found out that I was Type 2 Diabetic and I was on a mission to heal my body without medication, which I did. I am not against medication. God Opened the doors to start my healing from childhood trauma in my 50s. I survived the night that my first husband tried to kill me when I was 17 years old. If You beautiful people don’t think that you have a purpose in life, I’m here to tell you that you do and I love you.

Wow Elin ….. what an inspiration and beautiful individual you are. Thank you so much for sharing your story. Your words have delivered a powerful, positive, punch to many who thought they had no hope. Im sure you will have given life back to those who thought they had none. Well done lady you are amazing. I wish you many wonderful precious days ahead. ❤️ xx

I can relate totally! Diagnosed with fatal pulmonary fibrosis. 3-5 years. I am on l Year 4 no symptoms. So live live live. Take nothing for granted!!!❤️❤️❤️

Love her speech and really appreciate her attitude toward life, she is strong both inside and outside 💕

A truly incredible talk that came to me just when I needed it. You have a strength and a beauty that we should all honour and you deserve every happiness on the journey ahead. Thank you for sharing your journey 😊

Truly inspiring and a lesson for all of us.

Thank you so much for sharing your amazing mindset. I am a cancer survivor going through chemo and you have inspired me to continue to live with your mindset... You are amazing!!!

❤

Prayers

Same as me. Sometimes the diseases gives us more than the normal life. And in one moment I was thinking...what is the normal life? It has to be what I have now. Congrats on your healing process. We are the most important thing in it xxxx

The change on the inside... the start of EVERY healing journey - thank you so much for sharing! "Being the creator of your own life!!" So so powerful :)

Doing this ted talk,You made a legacy that will live forever. Keep enjoying your life, lady, and I will pray for for you that you live as many years as you wish.

Housed, Pray for me too please

You are such an inspiration. So brave . I am fighting cancer and sometimes I am frozen in fear that another can come back because I am BRC2 positive . This is a great motivation not to give up . Thank you so much for sharing . God Bless you.

God bless you!!! Thank you for sharing your amazing story! An eye opener!

If this speech was held by a "healthy person", it wouldnt have touched me i think, this "life is now", "live your life now"- attitude I am reading everyday on instagram. But this is different. Because I rarely imagine myself getting diagnosed with what she was - and in this minutes, when she talked about it, i imagined how it would be, so her words hit differently. All the best for you, strong woman.

What can one say except what has already been said in so many comments? An amazing young woman, incredible how she found such strength and light inside herself at the darkest and most difficult time of her life. I am so grateful that she shares her thoughts and her insight like this. God bless her.

I am in tears and truly amazed at Elin's courage, truth, and light. So many prayers for you.

Inspiring stuff! She seems so much happier than many people 🙂

Simply beautiful!! Thank you!! What an inspiration you are and what a beautiful reminder that we are all dying - none of us know when are time will be up regardless of our circumstances. Live today - today is all we have. Thank you!! Send you so much love, thoughts and prayers for your everyday!!

Oh, I love her! Bless her heart! So happy she's overcome so much! And grateful for the clarity she's able to impart on us all!

Awesome and inspiring talk for living life to the fullest now! May God bless you to recover completely soon. You have made a difference to the lives of people hearing your experience

A few months ago, i learned to live every day like its my last. Not so much in the fact of going out and doing extravagant things every single day, but l have learned to love fully, wholeheartedly, see the good in everyone and make at least one person smile every single day. I have learned to be kind to myself, and listen to the inner voice inside of myself instead of ignoring it and pushing it aside. She has a lot to say, and deserves to be heard. I live every day with gratitude, regardless of my circumstances. I'm still not where I want to be in life, as I want to live in a remote cabin, surrounded by nature. I live in a city, but even though I'm not where I want to be, does not mean I dont deserve to be happy

Go live in a cabin in the woods, it's less hard than you may imagine.

@Virgifus I would love to! Sadly, my partner would never, so I have to respect his decision

Thank you for your motivational words @Elin Kjos. I found this video just at the right moment of my big life changing moments. Enjoy your life and keep on living. 🙏

❤

The time is now! Indeed, it is time now to express my immense gratitude to your inspiring spirit to live fully now as fully as I can for as long as I can. Like you, I received an unexpected cancer diagnosis at 40 with disbelief from the doctors but I strong belief in this diagnosis is an unexpected gift for us to inspire others to live fully and embrace the gift of life. You do that and did that in this amazing presentation. Thank you and certainly wishing you the very best!

I hope you live a healthy, happy life however long it may be. With your positive energy and perseverance, you will live another 50/60/70 years. God bless you!!

So powerful, absolutely what I needed to hear today. Thank you for sharing your story. You are amazing ❤️

What an amazing woman and an inspiration to all of us, to live life to the fullest! 😍

Dear Elin, in my believes I consider you as a miracle. Thank you for sharing your extraordinary attitude to fight for your life! Take care.

Elin is magnjficent, indestructible, exemplary person who has learned the way to believe and say, "si se puede, even though so many obstacles are against us, and the possibilities are very few". The power of her mind are amassing.

Man förstod att du skulle vara bra, men såhär bra… wow! Vilket tal. Så tagen av din historia trots att jag hört den flera gånger förut. Du är en lysande stjärna i världen, här för att göra skillnad. Och vilken skillnad du gör. Tack ❤️❤️❤️

Vilken fin kommentar. Tänk om alla kunde skriva så fint och uppmuntrande. Hoppas hon får läsa din kommentar. Hade det varit mig hade jag blivit jätteglad. ❤🧡💛

z bm mp

I Love her story and i love her spirit! I am crying because i am currently in a dark place in my life and somehow she inspires me to turn it around. I know myself as always weak nd easy to be defeated, but i also know that only me can make it work if i really want it. I just wish i have more strength to fight.

you have to .....we need you xx

DARLING ELIN!! Your words were so inspirational and so articulate!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! We need more people like you to speak everyday, so that you can spur on others, and who probably have smaller problems, and are stuck....I needed to hear you today.... WISHING YOU MUCH LOVE AND JOY WITH A VERY, VERY LONG LIFE 💟🌟💟

Oh My God what a great speech. Am so thankful i found your video, how inspirational. My love for life is greater than my fear of death. wow Thanks and rest in peace. 💗💗💞

Thank you Elin - powerful message and a helpful reminder that every day counts and we have choices every moment.

My heart goes out to you. You are strong, wise and keep up the good life. I can empathize with you as I spent 8 years of my life recovering from illness, Lyme, EBV and Coxsackie. Three years sliding downhill and 5 years recovering. With the help of a wonderful doctor well-versed in Homeopathy and Allopathy, changed my diet, reassessed priorities and finally really began to take care of myself. It works.

mine is similar as i was extremely mentally illl. 20 years

Hello my dear friend. I hope you're save over there?🍎 I hope this year bring prosperity love❤, joy and peace all over the world🌎. I would love us to be good friends in honesty and in trust so as time goes on it will bring something great for us in the future, hope you don't mind? I'm Engineer John Philip from Nashville Tennessee, where are you from if I may ask?

You are as amazing as your message Elin. I too had major medical trauma. Being in excellent health also I felt great. Within days I was in a hospital intensive care ward. I'm not sure of the future but so agree & have truly learned that all we really have is now! This moment. Use this time wisely. Live & love with all you have. I am so very proud of you! Thank you for sharing your much needed beautiful message. What a precious gift you give. You give such great inspiration! Love always.....❤️

❤

I hope you live to see 100! Blessings! I was lucky that my brother gave me the support and insight to believe I would live after drs said I only had a few weeks. He didn't believe it PERIOD. Your mind, body, and spirit must be in agreement to live and be healthy in every possible way-No time for regret, unforgivness, grudges, or judgment. Those are weights tying you down. Wishing you all the very best!

Amazing speech. I hope you enjoy every minute and continue inspiring others. 'Live for the moment' is given all its sense. Thank you!

This is such a great inspiring story ❤️ thank you for sharing and motivating and I am sure you will live many happy years 🙏

Incredible story of determination and a Can Do attitude. Elin, thank you for sharing your story with us.

Thank you Elin for sharing this powerful message. More importantly for showing us first hand how brightly your light is shining and helping illuminate the world and our collective consciousness.

You are a champ Elin. You are a living example to all of us. You are a HERO. God bless you abundantly and always.

I couldn't agree more

Certainly inspiring. Presently being treated for aggressive metastatic prostate cancer, bathed in prayer, and going through many changes involving relationships, diet, and embracing the “in the moment” things so easily taken for granted.

Ive survived 3 episodes of cancer. Ive survived it all and just carried on with life. I never stopped to really appreciate me, the wonder of my body and my good fortune until this talk. Thank you.

This was absolutely beautiful! ❤️❤️❤️ May God bless you with long life and health!

Choose to live, to be alive, here and now, in every minute of the miracle called life :) Thank you for this beautiful talk. All the best to you Elin!

You are an inspiration - you go girl! ❤️🇨🇦

Incredibly inspiring talk from a strong woman. I love her calmness as she speaks in a matter of fact voice. Although she said she was nervous near the end of her talk, she did not appear to be but quite the opposite. Confident and poised. As she shared her story I was rather stunned because I too had a large tumor in my right lung and lost the majority of that lung to Lung cancer. I had surgery on Valentine's Day, 2012, followed by 16 weeks of chemotherapy. Tomorrow is June 1, 2022 so I've been in remission for over 10 years now. My oncologist said I don't have to come back a couple years ago, I am cleared now for release from his care. However, my insurance company wants me to continue to have a CT scan every year. Previously I had Uterine and Ovarian cancer in 2004. My surgery was on January 30, 2004, a total hysterectomy. My Ovarian tumor was bigger than a football and burst while in surgery. Fortunately, an oncology team was in the surgical suite and did a pelvic wash, and I may not have survived if they had not done that. Surgery was followed by 6 months of chemotherapy, every 3 weeks. That chemo knocked me down. Besides little appetite, I became very weak, lost all my hair, aching bones and joints and slept for the first week after each treatment. The second week I'd migrate to the living room, and I ate more. By the third week I was feeling better and could resume some normal activities. Going to work was still nearly impossible though. I was still so weak I would be wiped out by the time I was dressed and sat at my vanity to finish getting ready, often ending up in tears. Finally August arrived and I was done with chemo. Surviving cancer is a big deal. I am grateful for every day I am still alive, still in utter amazement that I have survived. There's been a lot of cancer in my family, including both of my parents dying young from Lung cancer at 55 & 60 years of age. My younger sister has Lung cancer also that traveled to her brain. The tumor was in the middle of all 4 lobes and removed in November 1999, prognosis of 3-5 years. Amazingly, she is still alive and has had 7 grandbabies born. However, she had to go into a nursing home about a year and a half ago after she developed dementia. When she was still cognizant I told her "We are the Miracle Sisters." I still believe that. I believe no one can really know what it feels like to be told you have cancer unless it has happened to them. Looking at our own mortality is not something most of us do. The experience changes everything, especially our appreciation for life and each day and what is really important. Excellent talk about surviving all that cancer treatment entails, including recovering and learning to thrive again. ❣️✌️🥀

@Oti Bernard Thank you so very much. That feels huge coming from a stranger! I've always been a detail person and tend to be long winded in my story telling. I am working on getting a book ready to publish. ❣️

@Tasha Brown Thanks Tasha. I appreciate your response. ❣️
