My Healing From Cancer… A Personal Triumph

By Corinne Haynie

April 17, 1996 a biopsy was performed resulting in my third diagnosis with cancer. It was just weeks away from final exams as I was about to complete my Psychology degree at UNLV. 

I began racking my brain, thinking “Cancer again? What did I do, or not do? What is wrong with me? Did I create this and if I did, why?” More importantly, I pondered the question, “Where do I go from here?” 

One prayer I said out loud was, “God, I want your will and what is best for me. In case you are not sure, I choose life. I do want to be here on Earth and I do want to fulfill my life’s purpose! Please show me the way!”

I allowed my body to guide me. Meditation was a great practice and a time when I could be at peace and let my thoughts go. It occurred to me that during my prior illnesses, I was asking whom I needed to forgive or make peace with, looking outside myself. This time, the focus was looking inward. I began realizing the person I needed to love and forgive most was me!

The first thing I was guided to do was a parasite cleanse (from Hulda Clark’s book Cure for All Cancers). It included: Black Walnut Hull Tincture, Wormwood, Clove Capsules, L-Arginine and L-Ornithine. This was my first cleanse, and I read the directions wrong. I started with full doses instead of building up to that level.

Within days I was discharging mucus and other substances from every opening in my body! Friends called me “the walking virus” during final exams. I had never experienced anything like this before. Something was happening to my body and I prayed for guidance. 

The next two weeks I began exploring other alternative modalities. People told me about all kinds of practices, cures and remedies, and when it resonated with me I used it. These included meditation; chiropractic care; psychotherapy, rebirthing, and massage therapy. 

I also attended a Native American Pipe Healing Ceremony. The pipe contained tobacco called the “Pow Wow Blend” by American Spirit. I felt a burning in my throat and lungs as I inhaled the pipe and then I visualized the smoke bringing healing energy throughout my body. The pipe came around the circle over and over. There was drumming and chanting which I felt in my soul. I wept silently as the drumming continued.

I saw a homeopathic doctor who had treated me before. He previously prescribed, “Calcarea Carbonica” for my particular constitution. After an exam and consultation it turned out that the camphor in the massage oil used by my massage therapist may have interfered with the original prescription. (Things like coffee; camphor, allopathic drugs and routine dental work can interfere with the action of the remedy.) So, it was determined I needed more of the originally prescribed remedy. 

In meditation, I went deep inside myself, I looked and I listened. I had been so busy working on the outside and forgiving everyone else, I had neither looked inside me nor considered forgiving myself. I had a copy of the book Heal Your Body by Louise L. Hay along with her tape, “Self Healing”. I listened to the tape every night before falling asleep and used the book as guidance for affirmations. Tears streamed down my cheeks as I verbalized the affirmations, releasing deep, bottled-up emotions.

Graduation was planned with many friends and family from out of town. With the upcoming finals and dealing with the cancer, I simply went through the motions. The outpouring of love from family and friends sustained me throughout many moments during this time. 

At times I was able to be “present”, and at other times, my thoughts would wander. I found myself questioning what was ahead of me. I was doing my best to stay as positive as possible. Then I received some wonderful news that inspired me. My grades arrived in the mail and I had aced every final exam and received the highest grade in my Human Resource law class. It was surreal! I was so happy! It was amazing to me that I could “shelve” this cancer and focus on anything at this time, let alone ace my law exam. The mind is very powerful and I was beginning to realize just how important my thoughts are. 

I spent a quiet time preparing for surgery in meditation, reciting positive affirmations, and listening to the Louise Hay tape, as well as uplifting and inspiring music. I indulged every chance I had with candlelight, music, and a hot bath in my Roman tub. 

Surgery was scheduled for Tuesday, May 28th, my 40th birthday. The day before, I called three people to “complete” with. There were personal things I needed to say, and they needed to say. Clearing the air with these three let me go into surgery feeling at peace. I had made amends and reconnected with people I dearly loved. Please don’t wait to do the same with your loved ones.

Tuesday morning I arrived at the medical center. The nurse said that surgery was to be about an hour. The nurse practitioner was awesome and so comforting to me. Soon the doctor arrived. This is the same doctor who had done the original biopsy so I felt very comfortable with them. I said my prayers and the doctor began; first with local anesthesia and then with what was to be a Leep procedure; however things seemed different. They were talking quietly and I was unable to hear what was being said. Maybe twenty minutes passed and the surgery was over. I was told just to go home and rest and not to worry; they would call me with the results as soon as they came in, probably within a week.

Friday morning the telephone rang. A nurse said, “Mrs. Haynie, please sit down.” I felt my breath stop as she began to speak. She said, “There was nothing there.” I exclaimed, “What do you mean? There was nothing there?” She repeated herself saying that the results were “No abnormal cells present! The doctor wants to see you for your post op visit right away.” 

I made an appointment for the following week and hung up the phone. Tears began to fall down my cheeks and I fell to the floor saying “there must be a God and you must have heard me, thank you God, thank you!” A feeling of very warm energy shot through my entire body. I was tingling all over. I describe this as a feeling of love, a feeling that I had not ever felt before. I continued to cry and right then and there I promised God out loud that I would fulfill my life’s purpose and I would share my healing with anyone who would listen! I cried until I began to laugh. Oh my God, I am healed! I stood up and ran around my home. I looked into the mirror and yelled, “I am healed! Thank you God, oh thank you!”

My life has completely changed since May of 1996. I look different, I feel different, and I am different. I continue to develop my spirituality and create love and balance in my life. Today, I honor my body and I honor my life’s purpose. This August I will be married to the love of my life, AND we will welcome our first grandchild into this world. I am so grateful to be alive! I am very grateful to anyone and everyone who contributed in any way to my life, my healing and all the growth I have experienced. I believe we all have the ability to heal. I feel love is the key; love of God, the self, and love for all. I am committed to fulfilling my life’s purpose and encourage YOU to Go Forward in YOUR life.
