My dearest fellow cancer patients/survivors I would like to introduce myself, my name is Marilyn Sepe and I am a recent cancer survivor.
I was diagnosed with Triple negative cancer at the beginning of 2023. I had just come back from a wonderful vacation when I felt swelling under my armpit. I immediately decided to go to the breast cancer clinic for my mammogram.That was the day my whole life changed. I have a son, a daughter and 4 wonderful grandchildren,the thought that I may not be able to see my grandchildren grow up was heartbreaking and overwhelming.
I was determined to fight for them. I fought many battles in my life, but this one was the biggest and the most challenging.
For the next year and a half I tried to stay mentally and physically strong.During my long chemotherapy treatments I would promise myself that if I came through them all alive and with least effort I would give back to society in a big way. I made that my constant thought and promise.
Cancer has certainly changed my life, I have a new meaning and purpose.
hoping the same for you!
I knew that this new purpose had begun, and over the next year I decided to start
working towards it.I became a member of the volunteer advisory board for cancer
patients and their families at the hospital that was treating me.I have learned a lot since the day I was diagnosed,that planted the seed to create something that would help navigate our lives in the most positive and holistic way.
During my long months of treatments,I had ample time to research the effects of cancer on our health and well being. A simple manicure became a distant memory knowing the importance of infection control and its risks.I also learned that there are very few services offered to us, especially when it comes to aesthetics.
This is why I created Onco 1 Spa Clinic. Every service offered is beneficial for us. I made sure of that.
I’m not just the founder,I’m also the nutritionist on staff. You will surely see me
working, and making sure that you have no doubts about your comfort and safety.
This Clinic has a special meaning to me,knowing that from something negative
comes something positive.
I have dedicated this clinic to the community. It has been set up as a non-profit so that we can continue giving back to this cause that has touched so many of us.
‘With love and gratitude I look forward to seeing you in person.’
