SURVIVORS COME OUT OF YOUR SHELL
Hi All,
I found that most people don't want to tell others that they've cancer, WHY?? Why do you want to remain in a shell, it is only when you meet others who have survived like you, share your feelings, it is going to help you in this struggle, is it a struggle? no, I definitely don't think so. Don't worry, with this disease, none of us are going to be a nuisance to others, we just can't pass on our disease to anyone.It is only if one doesn't go for regular follow up, then it may become a problem. But, I'm sure that most are well aware that we all need our regular checkups, as directed by our Drs., we need our blood work done on regular basis, for thyroid cancer survivors, chest x-ray once a year & for women mammogram once a year along with the x-ray. These are necessary,if there is the slightest change in our body, then we can take immediate action to prevent further spreading of the disease. So, it is mainly in our hands, how we want to deal with the disease.I'm sure that none of us want to suffer any more if we can prevent it.
Let us make the most of what we've.Make friends across the country, to be frank, it is through some of the support sites that I had joined even before I had my surgery, made friends across different continents.It is such a joy to meet more people,know how each copes with the disease,share our sorrows,( as only those sailing in the same boat can know best what you're going through),share some recipes, some jokes, reassure each other.
We all must remember our whole life is learning process, so make the most of each day, by learning something new, above all pass it on to others, as knowledge must be shared.This will give the greatest satisfaction to you, boost your confidence, make you feel life is a pleasure.
Looking forward to some comments as to how each of you cope with the disease, as it will be a good lesson to others to follow, please feel free to write any thoughts, as each point you write will be a lesson for so many.
Best wishes to all for good health.May God bless you all.
