In this first‑person testimonial, a woman recounts her 1979‑80 diagnosis of ovarian cancer that had already metastasized to bone and lymph nodes. Her gynecologist gave her a 3‑5% survival estimate, and she subsequently underwent radiation to treat bone lesions and chemotherapy for systemic disease. Unsatisfied with conventional therapy alone, she committed to a disciplined meditation practice three times daily, employing vivid visualizations of wolves attacking and destroying the cancer while protecting her body. She reports that this mental imagery, combined with the medical treatments, led to a complete remission within a year. She attributes her recovery largely to the visualization practice and continues to hold that belief.
