CONTROL YOUR CANCER
Discovering you have cancer or any serious illness is both a shocking and life-altering experience. It tends to stir up a whirlpool of mixed emotions that swirl around inside your head, making your normal thinking processes cloudy and unfocused.
There are so many stages we must go through to fully accept the fact that we have developed a possible life-threatening condition. We all experience these stages at different times and in varying degrees. I may feel immediate denial, whereas someone else may feel immediate anger and blame. Every person is different, which is what makes us unique and individual in our responses, reactions and healing capacity.
As soon as you hear the word cancer, it is natural to panic. Don’t panic, it is not going to kill you today or tomorrow, as many people believe, and don’t let anyone rush you into any decisions. Cancer can be such an overwhelming and all-consuming experience; it is easy to let others make your decisions for you about which direction is best suited to your needs, right then and there. You do have time. Take a deep breath, sit down, make every effort to relax and write down your possible options.
If you know something is going to happen, don’t just watch it and let it control you – take charge and control it. Take control of the direction of your illness, your cancer and your health. For instance, if you plan to undergo chemotherapy and you know you are going to lose your hair, go out and get a beautiful short hairstyle that you may have been too afraid to try before. Or if you are aware that you are going to have an operation, take steps to build up your strength, nutritional levels and health before the operation to ensure a more rapid and successful recovery. By making the first move and controlling your destiny, you have not given your personal power away to anyone.
Letting someone else make all of your decisions about your health forces you to lose your confidence, decision-making ability, self-worth and personal strength. It can leave you feeling weak and at the mercy of the course of the illness, as preordained by those in so-called authority or more knowledgeable positions. No one is more knowledgeable about your body, than YOU! Your body is your temple; you have lived in this beautiful place since the day you were born. Ultimately you know what works best for your body, what feels great and what enhances your health, more than someone who has spent a few minutes with you on several occasions.
You may have slipped off the path a little in some way or overburdened your body, forcing it to go into a state of illness. But this is the perfect chance to re-grasp your power and natural self-healing knowledge. Find out every detail about your condition and make positive steps to walk ahead on the right path to health, happiness and self-fulfillment.
Many times we do need the expert opinions of medical professionals who have spent many years working with cancer and other chronic illnesses. It must also be understood that many doctors who work with cancer know only limited and tried treatment protocols, and many do not want to stray from this set regimen. Never hand your decision-making ability over to anyone else.
Often we have pushed our bodies to the limit and forced them to go into a state of serious collapse or illness. You have the ability to work hand-in-hand with the practitioner of your choice, whether you choose an orthodox practitioner or an alternative therapist, to discover the treatments that work best for you and to guide your body and spirit back towards better health and well-being. What a fulfilling and satisfying experience it is, to have taken part in the process of your own self-healing!
If you are worried about whom to trust when dealing with your cancer, learn to trust yourself first. Use your own intuition; let it guide you in the direction that is right for you. Listen to all avenues, all arguments and advice, seek knowledge about your condition and ask yourself whether the practitioner working with you has the ability to treat a condition such as yours and why. I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to arm yourself with knowledge, find out everything about your condition and available treatment options. If you go into this forearmed with the right information, you will maintain your self-confidence and personal power without having to feel helpless. Make sure you understand all of the good news about your cancer and that you are happy with your treatment, so you remain positive and optimistic throughout.
Taking control, even in the smallest way, enables us to learn how to master other areas of our lives. Very often when we are sick, we are caught up in a feeling of helplessness or uselessness. We need to take a part in our own healing process in order to feel useful and essential in life. All too often we give this power away and block ourselves from feeling pride in our accomplishments, our achievements and in our mastery over our health.
Having cancer is a turning mark in one’s life. It is an opportunity to grasp change in a positive and life-transforming way, to release hurts, past traumas and long standing resentments. It enables you to take charge of your life and to ride on life’s back like a wild tiger. Life is a daring adventure, giving us opportunities to change and grow. We often only get one chance. By taking an active role, no matter how small, in your own healing you open the doors to health, happiness and contentment. What a beautiful and ever-changing experience life can be! Seize this opportunity to take part in your own healing process and watch the miracle and magic of life unfold.
