Cancerous Black Holes

Learning that you have cancer can be a difficult experience. After a person is diagnosed with cancer, he or she may feel anxious, afraid or overwhelmed and wonder how he or she can cope during the days ahead.

first of all you should know that cancer is not any more such a live threatening disease as half a century ago. When you are diagnosed with cancer main point is at first to obtain as much basic, useful information as possible about your cancer diagnosis. Consider bringing a family member or friend with you to your first few doctor appointments. Write down your questions and concerns beforehand and bring them with you. You should not be afraid to talk about it but also to question certain things.

Each person should be aware that the cancer of the one person is not the same as the cancer of the other. As such the first question to been asked should be: “What kind of cancer do I have?” followed by: “Where is the cancer and has it spread?”

On our mind is naturally if that cancer we have can be treated and “What is the chance that my cancer can be cured?”

Next you should be open to see and follow what other tests or procedures you may need. You have to come to see your treatment options and how the treatment will benefit you.

When a person knows what he or she can expect during treatment, he or she can feel more at ease. The best way to conquer cancer is not to haver ‘cancer thoughts’ or negative thoughts in mind. It is so important not to be a ‘kankeraar’ (‘canceror’), i.e. a grouser, grumbler or whiner. To be a bellyacher will not bring any solution. All cankerous thoughts should be put away first.

Those who are always grousing or moaning about something should make the best effort to change their attitude and to come to tackling the world in a better way.

If they can not do that on their own,it is not bad to look at others who had to face that disease and see how they managed to cope or fight against the cancer.

We all can learn from those who are facing such a threatening disease. They had to undergo side effects of the treatment, and it shall not be different for us. So knowing how they could cope with those annoying side effects it may help us.

We should always remember we should always call the doctor as soon as possible and not be afraid to ask him many questions, such as: “What can I do to prevent my cancer from recurring?”, “How likely are my children or other family members to get cancer?”

As with any “whopper” of a disease it is important to maintain honest, two-way communication with your loved ones, doctors and others after your cancer diagnosis. You may feel particularly isolated if people try to protect you from bad news or if you try to put up a strong front. If you and others express your emotions honestly, you can all gain strength from each other.

Members of cancer support groups may be particularly helpful in the areas about reactions on the treatment. Getting advice on the drugs (causing hair loss), advice from image experts about clothing, makeup, wigs and hairpieces may help you feel more comfortable and attractive. Insurance often helps pay for wigs, prostheses and other adaptive devices. and can provide tips that have helped them and others.

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is always important, but when our body shows a weakness it is even more important. We for sure should not be afraid to go out the house, hiding ourselves, being afraid for what they might think of us. Taking some outdoors exercise can improve your energy level. Eating a healthy diet consisting of a variety of foods and getting adequate rest may help you manage the stress and fatigue of the cancer and its treatment. Exercise and participating in enjoyable activities also may help. Recent data suggest that people who maintain some physical exercise during treatment not only cope better, but may also live longer.

Taking more care of yourself and your willingness to talk with others and share ideas, not thinking you our the only one who knows and feels what it is, will help you to gain more confidence to go into a new stadium in life, where you can win the battle, when you trust yourself and those around you.

“Together we can do more” is for sure very important too.

Good luck.

Complementary and alternative medicines are fast becoming a favourite way of dealing with a wide range of health implications, particularly for those who are suffering from cancer.

  After the surgery, radiation and chemotherapy for breast cancer lies the next phase of a person’s life.Survivorship refers to that time, often beginning at diagnosis and through long-term survival, when the physical and emotional after-effects of breast cancer treatment may linger.Now, South Florida hospitals are taking an active, more comprehensive approach to survivorship, instituting programs to address that next phase — to improve patients’ quality of life and empower them to live healthier lives after cancer.

So my mother calls me tonight and let me just say this right off ** I’m paraphrasing the conversation for the purposes of brevity, in case she contacts you and claims I posted this “out of context” **

So we were talking about a neighbor of hers who is going through cancer treatment and the prognosis isn’t good. She says, so many people are going to die of cancer and they are never going to find a cure.

I interrupted her and told her about the newly released studies showing a 90%+ success rate in curing certain types of cancer with stem cell treatments. She says she hasn’t seen it and continues with …..”that’s why I never give to the susan g. komen foundation or any other cancer research group…..they are just a billion dollar black hole of tax evasion”

I was a bit taken off my guard. This was…
