Surviving Cancer

It is automatic for a person to be depressed the moment a doctor diagnosed him/her having cancer, whatever kind it is, as long as the "cancer" word was there, it meant easily as death. But that would mostly imply to those who have Stage 4 cancer and might have less chance of recovering or even achieving cure. The patient would experience not only physical changes because of cancer, but also the mental and emotional portions would be severely damaged. A cancer patient doesn't only need physical help, encouragement and words of hope and support would make greater results on recovering and fighting the said disease.

Chemotherapy is indeed painful, but help greatly on destroying the cancer cells and promoting recovery for the patient. But the effects of chemotherapy, such as vomiting, nausea, fatigue, anemia, diarrhea, mouth sores, infertility and hair loss, are crucial for a patient's mindset. Chemotherapy could be traumatic despite its curing capability for those who have cancer. Most patients would eventually feel like they are alone and hopeless at the prospect of cancer into their lives. What they need more aren't just medicines or therapies but love and attention as well.

The patient's family should always be there on their side, giving comforting words and shows support and positivity. Family members or even friends shouldn't be so negative in front of a patient. Cancer patients don't want people to pity them, first and foremost. They don't like pity from other people, but pure love and concern. They also don't want to see the people around her so affected and depressed about their state that would only make them more stressed out and down. The whole family should act as though nothing was different and take good care of the person with cancer. Just like Angela Radd, leukemia (cancer in the blood/bone marrow) patient, survived cancer not only because of the hospitalization but because of her family/friends' support. Especially her friends, who introduced her to an elisa kit, which helped her on the way to recovery. Amanda Hale, an Elisa kit manufacturer did some research and boosted Angela's esteem that she can survive the disease. After months, almost years, Angela Radd recovered and now currently working on a famous bank in New York.

The mind can help a lot while recovering from an illness, the quote "MIND OVER MATTER" works for real. If a patient believes she/he can survive cancer, then she would have the determination to fight the disease and undergo necessary procedures. Support, attention and love are the main keys into helping a cancer patient believe in real-life miracles. Hope, can also be found only in God, and faith will be the greatest weapon to win this sort of fight.
