Isabelle Henry wants every other cancer sufferer to know that there is light at the end of the tunnel.
The 60-year-old Ascot vale nurse was diagnosed with uterine cancer in April last year and plummeted into a journey of emotional turmoil.
Facing the possibility of death on a daily basis, Ms Henry knew there was something beyond chemotherapy, hospital wards and surgery.
Stumbling upon The Gawler Foundation in July this year, Ms Henry did a 12-week program in Footscray to learn all there is to know about self-help techniques for people experiencing cancer.
“The Gawler Foundation empowered me to take control and consider healthy eating, a positive attitude and dealing with the possibility of death on an emotional level,” she said.
Since completing the 12-week program, Ms Henry’s test results are all clear, she has gone on a trip to America, found employment as an over the phone health coach and is the face of The Gawler Foundation’s Christmas Appeal for 2010.
