When you are first diagnosed with cancer your mind becomes a minefield of anxiety and emotions. It takes some time to come to grips with the reality of knowing you need to fight this disease and you need to fight it with everything you have. Here are some things that helped support me through my fight.
1. Have a support system; family, friends, support groups etc…don’t keep everything inside.
2. Educate yourself about your disease as much as possible. Go to conferences, get 2nd opinions, research on
the net and if you aren’t comfortable with this get someone you trust to do this for you.
3. Look at all your options. Every hospital and doctor has a different idea, process or are studying different
trials
4. See a naturopathic doctor, but ensure that your conventional doctor knows you are doing this. Find the
balance between both.
5. Exercise, eat well and change your lifestyle habits to healthy ones.
6. Do reflexology, massage, yoga etc.. Anything that will help strengthen your body, mind and soul.
7. Listen to meditative tapes, read encouraging and inspiring books.
8. Keep a journal for everything you need to write, but don’t want to say out loud.
9. Don’t let cancer control you and don’t give up hope.
10. Pray in whatever method works for you and your needs.
