My ispiration

Hi,

I’m a cancer survivor like any of you. So having gone through it all, it is quite easy to understand the feelings & sufferings of other survivors. But, we all need to understand one thing, that each of us is a unique individual, each with our unique problems other than cancer. So all the problems though may sound similar, may have slightly different consequences. It is best that each of us understand our body well, our physical capabilities, so we can deal with them better. But to help in this situation, if you’re positive it helps a great deal. We must get our inspirations by looking at those who are worse off than us, as to how they deal against all odds & face it all with a smile. Learn to enjoy the beautiful nature, draw inspirations from it. Try to forget the word “NO” or I CAN’T Do” something from your vocabulary, if you remember the famous proverb, “Where there is a will, there is always a way ”, you can even conquer the Mt. Everest!!

I want to share a small story that I read years ago from a magazine. There was this man who was in his early 20s, diagnosed with cancer, the Drs. had given him only 6 more months to live. The first 3 months he spent in crying that he is going to die. When only 3 months were left of his life as per the Drs.’ diagnosis, he decided to enjoy himself to the utmost, that he even forgot that he had cancer. It was life spent with utmost joy. There the 3 months went, still nothing happened, and after a few more months there was no sign of cancer. Then he decided to study Medicine, went to do his MD, wrote that article at his ripe old age of 80! So this shows that our destiny is already decided, so why crib about something that is destined. We all know that the day we’re born that we’ve to die. But not necessary due to our cancer, it can be due to old age!!! So make the most of each day of your life doing something positive, worthwhile, that will make us happy of our achievement. Let us all join hands in sharing our joys, bringing a smile on someone’s face. Let us set examples to others how to fight cancer.

We all must learnt to listen to what our body says, as, there may be days when we can do a lot of work, while on other days, we can hardly get a few chores done. Please, don’t cry over it, as being a thyroid cancer survivor, I’ve read in quite a few sites, this problem is faced by most. So let us be content with what we’ve achieved, than what we’ve not.

We all must do some exercise, even 30 minutes of walking a day will help us. Once when one starts walking, one may find it difficult, but try by starting a few minutes a day, then slowly increase it to 30-45 minutes. This is essential as it helps our blood circulation.

Above all, we all must be thankful to God, that He has given us all the means to treatment, to gain knowledge about the disease. It is only when you come to know the number of people suffering without the means to treatment, one will know how lucky we’re. So, why not try to bring some cheer on those faces, in whatever little way we can.

All please free to give your comment, you can mail to me whatever you feel like, I’ll do my little bit to be of help in whatever little manner I can.

May God bless you all with good health & happiness.
