Tell cancer , we are not worry .

I believe no one like cancer .

Or maybe ... Drug company involve in cancer drug, like it.

Or maybe ... Doctor involve in treating cancer, like it.

Or maybe ... People involve in marketing of cancer related product, like it.

Just joking , be it drug company , doctor or those involve in marketing cancer related product , no one will like cancer .

Cancer cause worry, cause stress, cause financial problem, cause ...

In short, cancer bring us nothing good.

But, we should not let cancer crash our life, we should learn how to deal with it .

Cancer do not mean it is end of the world, with all the new tech and new drugs, many patient prove to live beyond the statistic , and therefore, we should not let statistic make us worry and give up life.

So, what should we do when doctor confirm we are cancer patient ?

My sharing as follows :-

1) Accept that we have cancer and not to blame or keep asking , " WHY ME " . It will not change the fact, it only make us feel upset and depress , then, follow by fear and worry .
Start to do reseach and study for kind of cancer and staging we have , treatment options , get 2nd or 3rd opnion before start treatment .

2) Accept that have or do not have cancer, we will leave this world one day. So, death will not be a subject for us to worry. Anyway, easy to talk than to act, but, once we accepted it, slowly we will fully accept it. Anyway, God will decide, not us.

3) Start to do reseach and study for the side effect of kind of treatment that we are going to do and also what is the side effect and how long will the side effect last. Learn as much as possible kind of treatment and kind of drugs and it side effect. We should take note that different type of cancer, use different type of chemo drug.

4) Time to change to healthy life style , sleep early, exercise, gradual change of diet. Drastic change may not suit everyone, and it may not help. So, the right way to do is gradual change .

5) Start treatment to ensure condition under control .

6) Learn to listen to our body during chemo treatment and discuss it with doctor, as tolerate level for each patient to chemo drug is different.

7) Accept the meet up with other patient who is willing to share their experience, but, do not mean that we have to fully follow to their advise, as each of us react differenty to treatment.

For me, this is the basic things we should do to keep us have a direction to deal with it and we learn along the way of treatment for how to counter each side effect and also pain management .

Meantime, Lord is always with us and he will guide us, lead us to walk out from darkness to light, he will also bless us with wisdom and knowledge when he walk with us for living with cancer journey.

I pray to Lord for his mercy, grace, peace and love to always touch upon us and keep us well .

Thanks Lord .

God Bless.
