I am a cancer survivor. I was diagnosed in March 2005, and is now almost two years since I have undergone the treatment.
As I was getting good test results last week - my CAT scan was clear - I have received emails from two friends. One was diagnosed with cervical cancer in the ovaries with tumors further. And 'their tubes and ovaries removed, and scheduled for radiotherapy and chemotherapy. My other friend told me their mother diagnosed with canceron his gall bladder, which distributed his liver and intestines. It 'made at this time.
What I noticed is that even if I am in the woods with my own cancer and feel fit and healthy, others just beginning their journey. I could realize what I went through and what I have learned to use for others.
If you have recently been diagnosed with cancer or have had a loved one, then this article is for you.
My story
I was diagnosed in March 2005involved with cervical cancer, only 4 days later. The treatment was initially recommended a total hysterectomy. Luckily there was a new operation called trachelectomy available to young women who wanted to preserve fertility. This included the removal of the cervix, but leaves the uterus and the ovaries - the majority of viable material. Of the approximately 100 women who had surgery about 70% are able to design and deliver by caesarean section. Then the child is stillpossible for me, although I did 2 years of clearing the doctor recommended.
After surgery, they found more tumors in the lymph nodes were removed. The doctors have recommended four cycles of chemotherapy, cysplatin to be exact, just to be sure that any cancer remaining knock to the head. Cysplatin is a pretty serious drug, and had a serious impact - I felt bad and terrible for 10 days after each round. My last treatment was the August 8, 2005.I ran a marathon seven months later. It seems surreal to me now, but time was running a marathon is exactly what I needed a new focus on life and the quality of life.
However, dealing with the diagnosis was the first step. And 'my intention that this article and the accompanying audio help each other, before a diagnosis is obtained through the first few weeks.
Here are a few things you can do and think and experience to help you - to choose what feels right for you. The first thing toAnd 'to try to reduce stress in your life as possible. You must be calm, relaxed, in order to deal with what in front of you.
They manage?
First of all, knows that as long as you breathe, you're set. Start from there. Breathe. Ensure you're alive and you're OK. Breathe.
Eating properly. I saw a nutritionist after my diagnosis. I had a pretty good diet, I was a vegetarian and a runner, but I knew that all I could do was to promoteHealing. I also gave some control over the process of how my life has been taken over by the medical examinations, results of tests and therapies applied.
Eating plenty of fruits and vegetables. Avoid anything that a stressor on the system - to reduce or eliminate alcohol, sugar, cigarettes and caffeine. Here you will find a nutritionist or go to a health food store, taking the vitamins. Additional doses of vitamin B, C, selenium, have all been good for me. Be sure to consult a professional for the rightDosages.
Exercise. Keep your body moving gently as possible with the operations and treatments. Stretching is good - stick to your body. Exercise helps to use the lymphatic system, helps the heart and lungs have to work and pump toxins. You can connect with your body to feel alive. Movement empowers you.
Meditate. Before I was diagnosed with cancer, I always knew that meditation should be good for you, but I nevernothing. Willing to do what is to lend support to my healing, I began to meditate. It was like a blessing, it helped me release a lot of emotional stress and I felt so calm and relaxed and calm afterwards. You can tape of relaxation, meditation CDs, or if this is just beautiful music, or guided imagery, or simply lie back and relax. The idea is to center yourself and calm down - to feel the source of life energy, which is connected in each of us, in allthe world around us.
View. It 'was a good way to stay focused. After surgery I could barely walk two steps, during the week before I had to run 38 km. This could have stopped me, but I decided what I wanted to make my body for me to concentrate. I imagined it to run, he feels fit, free and full of energy. This helped me get out of bed every day and shuffle a few feet of the corridor. Although my present body was not capable of so much, in my mind I heardI'm running and bounding over the hills, feeling of fullness of life. Every day I am stronger, and I see my body every day, as I should. As I said, 7 months after I ran a marathon.
Read some good books. One of the first things I did was go to the library. I wanted to teach me my disease and learn from people who have similar experiences had left. I bought a ton of books on how to heal itself, cancer, etc. best trips I've found LanceArmstrong: "This is not the bike," Brandon Bays "The Journey", Louise Hay "You can heal your life," Paul Kraus: "Living with cancer," Petrea "Quest for Life" King, Petrea King, "The your life things. "Each of them had something to teach me. Just go to the library and then purchase the health section, or self-help section and the books you like.
Get a massage that often. Massage is another way to relax and helps the body's own healing by the fluid, lymph, andRelease stored emotional energy. You can also use a different type of energy healing doctor - perhaps a kinesiologist or cranio-sacral therapists and Reiki practitioners. Find someone you trust and enjoy. The point is to feel good.
Use a diary. There is so much what's going on in your head and heart with a diagnosis of cancer. Some of them want to share, and that many of you probably do not have. In any case, is to wash the head and the heart of all the thoughts that go there and arearound and yells at you in the head solves a lot of energy and restlessness. Write down everything you think and feel down. The worst thing you can do is leave it running in the head - which makes everything worse. Writing is a relief and a release in your thoughts and feelings. Get it out - let them go.
Let people know what's going on. People who want to help loving you. You have to. Tell them how you - just call if you want to go and talk. Let your lovein your life - give them flowers, cookies, take the books - whatever - the feeling of love and appreciation for you. Be grateful for all this.
Feeling gratitude. The moment I started to look around and appreciate what I have seen and experienced, then my journey began for me the cancer is change. It 'happened when I go through chemotherapy. I had a lot of time at my house. I looked out the window every day and just watching the sunlight on the trees. Then the sky. Then the birds. And Ibegan to feel, to look for them, and with time to appreciate it, thanks. Then I started all the wonderful things that happened to me all the wonderful people in my life, I had all the great adventure. And I started to hear this extraordinary flow of good feelings. I began to understand that cancer had opened to all the wonderful things this good, that all the time, but I had not appreciated before. Then I began to feel gratitude for allCancer has been the one to do things for me: let me slow down and take a break for six months, I really chose to live as if I wanted to allow forward, helped me to clarify what is most important to me. I realized that it was a great gift. The process was arduous, but the gifts were gold.
Practice and grateful for the small and large. Notice the beauty around you. Note the sun on the trees. Be grateful for that. Find happiness and joy of lifeThem.
Stop doing something that does not help you. Stop doing things the "target" in your life. Just what gives us pleasure and joy.
Watching funny movies. Laugh your heart. Rent All Leslie Nielsen (Police Academy), etc. It can cope with. Laugh laugh laugh! Laughter actually produces certain chemicals that help your body heal. It feels really, really good.
Get a copy of The Secret DVD - available in Australia and www.wildlywealthy.comamazon.com elsewhere. This is a very powerful film. There is a woman on it that you are cured of cancer through self-love.
Do not give your doctor. How did you find the path of healing to embrace you, accept their form of healing with the spiritual side of things. All forms of healing have a place and can help you recover.
It 'good to have fear. Is it okay to be sad. Is it okay to be angry. Let us hear all this and more - can be heard. Let goto you and drain. It will give you the feeling flushed and cleaned. Get in touch with who you really are - it is pure love and energy towards the center. Feel the love you know.
Cancer is not a death sentence - is a call to life. And 'an invitation to you to love yourself and feel the regret of all your past mistakes, all your past, heal the mistakes of the past. Cancer gives you permission, from all the bullshit in your life and recognize all the goodThings.
Cancer can be a gift for you, if you choose to be so. Give yourself permission to take a break. Give yourself permission to slow down for the right to stop and just be.
And 'My sincere wish for you that once you find your joy, health and love for life. I do not know what will happen during the trip, no one knows how long each of us, with or without cancer. The important thing is that we like. Remember, life is for living.
All the best wishesfor you.
