How bioresonance therapy helped a breast and thyroid cancer survivor improve her diet and how hiking, qigong and dance made her feel well again
- Two episodes of breast cancer led Hong Kong golf pro Joann Hardwick to reassess her lifestyle. She began working less and connecting with nature by hiking
- Bioresonance helped identify foods that put stress on her system – she gave up beef and processed carbs. That then helped her beat late-stage thyroid cancer
Joann Hardwick, a golf instructor at the Hong Kong Golf Club, lives an active life, in a job that she loves, working outdoors at the club’s locations in Fanling and Deep Water Bay. So when a routine mammogram in October 2014 revealed stage zero breast cancer, her first thought was, “How does someone like me get cancer?”
It made her reassess her lifestyle, her diet and her environment.
Hardwick underwent a lumpectomy – a surgery to remove the cancerous tissue – followed by 20 rounds of radiation therapy in 2014. But the cancer returned two years later, and she had a mastectomy on her right breast.
The recurrence and the treatments that followed were difficult, and the uncertainty of what more could happen left her feeling drained and vulnerable, the 56-year-old says.
Hardwick needed to make lifestyle changes and to start listening to her body. “I realised I was working too hard, sometimes teaching up to 10 hours a day on top of two hours of travel to work and back. I wasn’t getting the rest that my body needed.”
Her entire life has been spent at or around a golf course. Her father, Joe Hardwick, was the head professional at the Hong Kong Golf Club from 1965 to 1995, and a co-founder of the Hong Kong Professional Golfers’ Association (HKPGA).
