Nathalie Mullinix’s Story of Hope: Finding Hope After Stage 4 Ovarian Cancer
Nathalie Mullinix’s Story of Hope: “I Found Hope”
When Nathalie Mullinix was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer, her life changed in an instant.
The cancer had metastasized to her peritoneal cavity, a place in the body she had never even heard of before her diagnosis. Like so many patients, Nathalie remembers the shock of hearing the news and trying to process what it meant for her life, her family, and her future.
“It’s like your life stops,” she shared, “but your brain doesn’t.”
In the middle of fear and uncertainty, Nathalie knew one thing: she wanted to be involved in her healing journey. She did not want to simply be told what would happen next. She wanted to advocate, ask questions, seek options, and participate in her care.
That desire led her to Believe Big.
Discovering Another Layer of Healing
Through Believe Big, Nathalie was introduced to mistletoe therapy, an integrative cancer care option used to support the immune system and improve quality of life for many cancer patients.
For Nathalie, mistletoe therapy became part of a much bigger journey. It was not only about treatment. It was about learning to trust the process, trust her body, and trust God.
She began to look at healing through a broader lens: physically, emotionally, and spiritually. She examined the stress she had been carrying, the relationships that were draining her, and the boundaries she needed to set.
“My body wasn’t just asking me to heal physically,” Nathalie said. “It was asking me to come back to myself.”
“I Didn’t Just See a Number Change. I Found Hope.”
During her story, Nathalie shared that her CA-125 tumor marker was 1,968 at the end of August. Normal, she explained, is 38 and below. Five weeks later, her number had gone down to 35.
But for Nathalie, the transformation was not only in the number.
“I didn’t just see a number change,” she said. “I found hope.”
That hope is at the heart of Nathalie’s story. It is the kind of hope Believe Big exists to share with cancer patients and their families—hope that says there may be options, there is support, and healing can involve the whole person.
