As mentioned in a previous post I have Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma. I have cancer in the lining of my colon. 3 months ago it was already spreading in my kidneys. After diagnosis I never followed through on the additional tests designed to stage my cancer. I honestly don't know where it was then, or where it is today.
I chose to skip standard treatment and do my own thing. A sort of self designed, self executed research study into an alternative treatment for cancer. Exactly what am I doing? I can't say. Rules governing this site forbid making any alternative cancer treatment suggestions. I fully understand and respect Cancer Chats position.
In truth you're a lot better off with the medical community at least until we find a real natural cure. We haven't identified it yet or you would have heard about it. I'm a bit of a scientist/investigator so my position on self treatment works well for me. I'm taking a real risk. You should stick with your doctor. You don't go trying to fly your own plane if you never had a flying lesson.
The fight I'm talking about is one we all share, the battle for our mind. Your mind is rulled by your beliefs but even more so by your emotions. Science has proven emotions can overpower logic and belief. Most living with or around cancer live in emotional chains, unable to rid ourselves of the reality of what history has led us to believe a cancer diagnosis means. This paralyzing focus generates within us negative feelings and emotions increasing our overall anxiety and actually feeding our illness.
We want to live, our loved ones want us to live, but we need better cures. Realizing the medicine is not yet fully there gives way to believing all cancer is a death sentence. This is not true. While it's true some cancers still have poor survival rates, overall survival rates in the UK are at there highest levels ever. Cancer is no longer a guaranteed death sentence. How does this truth make you feel?
How we view our situation has direct effect on how we feel inside. How we feel inside has direct effect on how our mind and bodies function. In truth if you're not in the present moment mentally relaxing, then your mind is speeding up. It's always going to be one or the other. Relaxing or speeding up. By focusing or possibly meditating on mentally relaxing, you limit the effect of negative emotions and release built up anxiety.
The doctors are responsible for healing your body but you're the only one who can protect your mind. Understand that cancer is no longer an automatic death sentence. Safely release your emotions and when ready, realize only you can win the battle of your mind. Only you can take the stand up position and hold the attitude of "not without a fight!"
