280| Luisa Vargas: Psycho-Muscular Massage Therapist & Breast Cancer Survivor
Time. I just want more time, and I am going to fight for that. -Luisa Vargas
This episode kicks off our annual 4-part series devoted to the inspiring stories of breast cancer survivors. In the spotlight, Luisa Vargas. Born and raised in the Dominican Republic, she grew up so poor she didn’t own a pair of shoes until she was 8 years old. As a single mom, Luisa made her way to the United States seeking medical care for her daughter, who had a heart condition. Speaking no English at all, she got the care her daughter needed, learned the language, and started a new life in Southboro, a small town outside of Boston. Trained as a psycho-muscular massage therapist, Luisa is one of the best in the world at her craft, and she has used that knowledge in her own recovery following surgery and chemotherapy for an aggressive form of breast cancer. “Chemo is hard”, says Luisa. “I have never felt anything so bad in my whole life. You need mental health support, spiritual support, family support, and community support. If you don’t have that support, it doesn’t matter how strong you are. Your body is not going to respond because we are connected through mind and body. We are one piece. “ What shines through in this interview is Luisa’s energy. A dynamo and a life lover, she will do whatever it takes to help others. Says Luisa: “I see an obstacle like a big fence. If it is too tall and I cannot reach the top, I dig a hole underground.” If you are undergoing breast cancer treatment, this episode is bound to give you the dose of hope and positivity you need to make it through. @elliefund #breastcancer
