STALNO JE VJEŽBALA I MISLILA DA JE OLIČENJE ZDRAVLJA: Na ovoj slici sam srećna i nasmijana, nisam znala da me izjeda opaka bolest!
.

Kirstin Pretorijus (34) odlučila je da preko Instagrama inspiriše sve koji se bore sa teškom bolešću, posebno svojom pozitivnošću i humorom.

Ova mama se bavila se sportom, vodila zdrav život, uživala u braku i odgajala dvije kćerkice. Obarala je svoje fitnes rekorde i svakog dana se trudila da napreduje sve više.

 

In this picture, I was living with cancer. I just didn't know it yet. Ironically, this year marked the peak of my 'health' and my fitness. I've never felt better, stronger, or more comfortable with myself than I did turning 34. My marriage had never been better and my children were thriving. Everything was beautifully bright. But, despite feeling perfectly well, I went for my routine yearly health check. And that's when they discovered 'the limp'. The lump. I look at this picture from a simply blissful family holiday celebrating my 10 year wedding anniversary and all I can think is... 'KIRSTIN how can you not know that there are 3 tumours thriving away in your breast? How can you not FEEL the cancer slipping into your lymph nodes? Why don't you FEEL sick? How can you be so stupid?!' But I didn't know and I didn't feel. If my doctor hadn't examined me, I'd still be blissfully unaware, reaching new fitness goals with my body, eating my futile little anti-oxidant high virtually-vegan wonder food diet... I'd be packing my little plastic-free super food school lunches for my girls, lecturing them on healthy lifestyles. I'd be chemically-free cleaning my home wondering why the whole world doesn't use essential oils. All the while growing and feeding my precious cancer. So check your boobs. Know your body. Cancer happens. To anyone. #breastcancer #breastexam #cancersucks #knowyourbody

Međutim, nije imala pojma da se u njenoj desnoj dojci za sve to vrijeme razvijao rak. 

"Nisam imala pojma da je u meni. Nisam nijednog trenutka osjetila da raste u meni. Da me ljekari nisu pregledali, i dalje bih bila u potpunom neznanju, jela svoju hranu punu antioksidanata i neumorno vježbala, vjerujući da sam oličenje zdravlja", kaže ona i dodaje:


"Čak i kada mi ju je ljekar našao, ja sama mogla sam da je opipam samo kada bih ležala na leđima i jednu ruku digla iznad glave", kaže ona.


Jedino što je preostalo je da ode na masektomiju dojke, gdje su joj uklonili tkivo. Svoju kosu odlučila je da odsječe ranije i napravi od svega jednu veliku šalu, tako što će je kćerke šišati.


"Ne volim nesrećne ljude i ne volim nesreću. Trudim se da uvijek budem pozitivna. Naravno, i ja kao i svi ostali imam loše trenutke ali se trudim da ih što prije zaboravim", poručuje Kirstin koja se sada oporavlja i ističe da svi treba da idu na redovne preglede.

 

I'm sorry for disappearing off the face of the earth. I think I needed a break from #cancer and #reality and needed a little healing space. Four months post chemo, I am feeling well and ALIVE and euphoric. But with each passing month, the reality of breast cancer takes it's toll. It doesn't disappear. I'll probably be on treatment for the rest of my life. Hormone altering treatment. Yip, that sucks. I'll worry for the rest of my life. I'll have PTSD for a pretty long while. So as much as I'm grateful and thriving, the bottom line is breast cancer doesn't end when chemo does. But surviving cancer makes you love every waking day! It makes you grateful for your friends and family and reminds you not to pick on the small hiccups. It reminds you to dance with your kids on a random Tuesday. And kiss your husband just a second too long. And tell that cashier they look beautiful, because maybe they need it today. So yes, #cancersucks but #cancergivesyounewlife so THANK YOU.
