- 1 in 25 Americans are cancer survivors
- I would argue that the time when treatment ends is just the beginning; the beginning of processing one’s experience and starting to heal physically, emotionally and spiritually.
- CA Cancer J Clin, online 4/26/12 Cancer and its treatment can make you feel that you have no or little control over your life. Being an advocate for yourself can help you regain some of that lost control, build confidence that you can face challenges that seem overwhelming, connect with others, improve the quality of your life, and potentially make a difference in the lives of other cancer patients in your community and beyond. In short, rather than sinking into a helpless and hopeless hollow, self-advocacy can help you climb to a more hopeful and active perch.
- FACES (David Spiegel at Stanford) to Cope with Cancer Do not be an ostrich. 2) Change the anxiety into fear and the depression into sadness. Then work to reduce that. The amount of pain we experience can be worsened or lessened by our reaction to and experience of it. For example, if you have pain and imagine that part of your body enveloped in warm water or ice (whatever you prefer), it actually changes the way your brain experiences the pain. You are more powerful than you think! 3) Focus on specific stressors. For example, if you are awaiting test results and are a nervous wreck, think about the possible outcomes and have a plan. Think in more or less terms – not all or nothing. Close your eyes, focus on the problem, breath, let your mind open to the possible responses. Feel your way to a new approach. 4) There is nothing wrong with feeling angry/sad some of the time. Data show the more you express your feelings, the less depressed you are. 5)
