Steve and I believe that inside every challenge is a
beautiful gift waiting to be unwrapped. However,
sometimes it takes the passage of time to fully
appreciate what the gift actually is.
What I am about to share with you exemplifies this.
In my Spring 2016 Kat Chat I told the story of how
Steve discovered he had Bowel Cancer after he had taken the Government funded
Bowel Cancer test. Whilst he did have to undergo surgery and the removal of
28cm of his bowel, the early detection helped him avoid having Chemotherapy
and Radiation therapy.
For quite some time Steve struggled to understand where and what the gift was,
but in November 2018 it became clear.
A routine PET scan ordered by his Oncologist happily confirmed that he was
Cancer free, but it revealed that he had a serious heart problem that required
urgent attention. The scan detected a dangerously large Aorta and a blocked
artery. A subsequent visit to a Heart Surgeon had him quickly booked into
hospital for further tests.
The results were not good! Unbeknownst to Steve the results also indicated
that he had suffered a heart attack some months before, which was mistakenly
diagnosed as Pneumonia. Steve had to undergo open heart surgery to unblock the
artery and reduce the size of his Aorta which was at risk of exploding in his chest.
The surgery was painfully brutal, and the recovery process long, but I am happy to
say he has conquered yet another life threatening illness.

local Queensland Printing company.
Supporting the environment and our
great state. I am quite sure not many of us would consider having Cancer to be a gift, but as
it turns out in Steve’s case it most certainly was. Had it not been for the Cancer,
Steve was at immanent risk, he was literally a ticking time bomb.

or someone you love from ignoring some of these health sign posts. I was elated
to discover that readers of my Spring 2016 Kat Chat were motivated to take the
Bowel Cancer test as a result of Steve’s story.

I believe those who have gone through serious hardships become, in some
cosmic way, related. They form a tribe of battle veterans and fellow pilgrims
anointed with knowledge they never wanted, and members of an exclusive club
where the price of admission is pain and suffering.
It can inspire us to bring forth the best of ourselves in order to overcome the
challenges we face and uncover the possibilities for personal growth and
transformation.
Crisis can tear away our sense of control and shakes our beliefs to the core, it can
leave us feeling afraid and stranded in unfamiliar territory. But it can also help us
tap into our greatest strengths, persevere through our most difficult times, and
find the potential gifts that a crisis can bring.
