Radiation and Chemotherapy Side Effects

TONI HAINES, ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHER:

Three years ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer. In addition to the cancer, I was worried about radiation and chemotherapy side effects. My daughter recommended I see Jocelyn. I didn't have much familiarity with things like energy healing, but for some reason I immediately decided to go see her. She was a tremendous help to me in dealing with the physical and mental stress of the radiation and chemotherapy side effects.

I would have my chemo treatment in the morning. Afterwards, the color would have drained from my face and I would feel seriously out of sorts - very disoriented and unable to focus. I couldn’t concentrate at all. I couldn’t tolerate noise and I couldn’t eat. I just wanted to lie down and close my eyes to avoid the sense of disorientation. The radiation and chemotherapy side effects were severe.

In the afternoon, about five or six hours later, I would see Jocelyn. Once when my son, who was unfamiliar with the area, was driving me to see Jocelyn, he asked me to look for a certain sign so we wouldn’t miss our turn – there was no way I could do it, I was just too disoriented.

Once I got to Jocelyn, I would lie down on her table and she would begin working with me by holding different points on my body. It felt really pleasant and relaxing, and I would just drift off.

On the day that my son had driven me in, I went outside to his car when the session was over and he was shocked - he said I looked like a different person! The color had come back into my face. I could concentrate and was coherent; I could make sense of things. I wanted to eat and began planning dinner, and even directed my son to a local store so I could pick up a few things.

I felt great!

BARBARA HOSTALERY, HOMEMAKER:

When I was first diagnosed with breast cancer several years ago, the chemotherapy and radiation worked very quickly to get rid of it. The only radiation and chemotherapy side effects I had were some nausea, which was helped by anti-nausea medication, and extreme tiredness on the third and fourth day after the cancer. It was toward the end of my treatments that my yoga teacher recommended I see Jocelyn.

My perception was that I was less tired and felt better when I saw Jocelyn, but since my symptoms were relatively mild it was hard to tell for sure if it made a difference.

A year later, I began experiencing pain in the area of my breast. At first my doctors thought it was caused from my breast implant. Upon further tests, they discovered the cancer had returned.

This time, my doctor put me on a course of chemotherapy which was much stronger than the first. The chemotherapy side effects were extremely severe this time. Although I was already wearing a pain patch for the actual cancer, about six hours after the chemo I began experiencing an intensely painful episode of "restless legs." It hurt from my feet to my hips and for two days I couldn't stop moving and moaning. I also experienced severe constipation.

When I had my second session, I was able to go to Jocelyn several hours after having the chemo. She worked on me for an hour-and-a-half. This time, I entirely avoided the episode of painful legs, and my constipation cleared up as well. The pain of the cancer itself even cleared up for a couple of days afterwards.

A little later, I was put on an even stronger chemotherapy. The nurse warned me that I would probably have a much more severe reaction. I continued having sessions with Jocelyn immediately after the chemotherapy, and I was absolutely fine!

And my energy in general is much, much better than it was during my first course of chemotherapy, before I began working with Jocelyn.

If you are facing chemotherapy and radiation, I highly recommend Jocelyn's services to you!

Traumatic Stress: Whiplash

BARBARA MORGESE, HOMEMAKER:

I'd had an automobile accident which resulted in really bad whiplash. I could not turn my neck, and both my neck and upper back were in severe, non-stop pain. I'd been in this condition for three or four days when I mentioned it to Jocelyn.

She suggested I have a session with her. I was totally unfamiliar with energywork at the time, but I was willing to give it a try since I could not stand being in such pain all the time and I didn't know what else to do.

She gently placed her hands on various areas of my body for about an hour. Frankly, I didn't see how this could be doing anything. Right after she finished, it felt like nothing much had happened.

But the next day, I suddenly realized that I was pain-free and could move my neck easily! That was over a year ago, and I've been fine ever since.

Rheumatoid Arthritis

SALLY TAMBERELLI, YOGA INSTRUCTOR:

My fourteen-year-old daughter had been developing juvenile rheumatoid arthritis for two years. The pain was getting steadily worse and she could not sleep through the night because of it. She couldn't lay in one place without extreme pain. When she moved, there was greater circulation and so the pain level was less, but it was still high. Her joints were swollen with synovial fluid and her hips, knees and ankles were so bad that we were starting to think about getting her a wheelchair somewhere down the line.

My daughter began seeing Jocelyn about two months after she began the two-year round of chemotherapy treatment suggested by her doctor. She was on anti-inflammatories as well. She reacted to the chemo injection the first few times and developed burning pain around the site of the injection. She had nausea. Both of these chemotherapy side effects disappeared after she saw Jocelyn for a healing session.

As Jocelyn worked with her, I just sat there watching my daughter's face grow calm as she lay on the table. Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis is often brought on after times of deep stress, and intense stress had become such a part of her look that it was remarkable when it lifted. I never worried as much after she saw Jocelyn, because I knew she could get that peacefulness. After the first visit, she slept through the night for the first time in months.

My daughter's energy healing sessions with Jocelyn helped her vastly decrease the pain that was still present when her medical treatment began and helped her tolerate the chemo treatments with vastly less distress. She and I both feel that Jocelyn was key in helping to change the course of this disease in her life.

I recommend Jocelyn most highly!
