Dear Silent,
The good news is this is caught in an early stage, Dear Person.
The thing that helps many of us... is to get some good reading materials that are current, like the Anti-Cancer books Dr's are writing themselves, who have had cancer and survived to research up to the minute, and help us...
It also helps to get on this right away, not put it off for a better time, because there is no better time.
There are support groups and information areas where you live that you can call up and see for direction and updated information, like start checking out your Cancer societies there, and search the web.
These are invaluable steps, btw.
Starting to diet where one cuts out sugars and foods that aren't best for the person with cancer is another good start.
So, seeking out education, support and the right foods for now should keep you busy while you are waiting for the Dr's to form your treatment plan.
Meanwhile, you have us, and we have just begun a cancer group here at PC also, so, you are welcome to all the support we can muster.
BellaRuth Naperstak... you know how I love her, right?
Well, I got to know her guided imagery tapes and affirmations thru my own battle with the 'C'.
She has one that I highly recommend to start with - Fighting Cancer - I beleieve that's the title, anyway, I have done all of her cancer tapes for my treatments and they helped me tremendously.
Try and stay positive Dear Silent, as that I found helps us too!
The mind-body connection is real, and here, in this area, we can help ourselves to heal quickly and lessen discomforts alot.
www.healthjourneys.com I believe is the website to order those tapes I told you about. Or check amazon. But health journeys is BellaRuth's site.
Stay strong... read .... empower yourself and hopefully you will assemble together a good health team that will all meet your health goals quickly.
PM anytime.
You will make it through this! Say this to your mind and body over and over until you know it! Also, remind your body how it has the ability to heal, and help you in this time.... treat your body and your psyche like gold, Dear Silent, as you need to be strong and determined to make your healing happen... and you can do that with help.
My positive thoughts go out to you for the courage and strength to do what you have to, whatever it takes, to make your recovery happen.
You can do it!!!! I have every faith in you!
Love and Peace,
night
xoxo
