Get educated. Learn everything you can. Be your own advocate!! Don't let a Doc treat you like a number!!

God bless, little sister.

Peace.

Pray, Pray, Pray. That's what you need to do. And if you are not healthy, now it is time to start living healthy. I'll even pray for you. Talk to GOD. He will tell you which way to go. GOD bless you.

1. Remain calm
2. Call everybody in your family and tell them.
3. Follow your doctor's instructions.

I'm a survivor and I would like to tell you that this will pass too! You will get through this. Just stay calm. Always get a second opinion. Not only on the diagnoses but also on the treatment plan. Call a specialized hospital and see if you can get an appointment. Try to take your rest and eat right. Remember: Cancer does not effect your personality, who you are on the inside. So use your brain to make the most of it. (read about it, talk to people who know about your type of cancer) Make a project of it and win!
I will cross my fingers for your quick recovery!

Fight like you've never fought before. Take all the treatment you are offered and buy a juicer and start doing all you can to boost your immune system. Stop any and all bad habits. Get support, from friends, family, church, and anyone else! But do not give up! My sister beat it and has been alive for 18 years. I took her to all her treatments etc. and it was really hard but, she fought it with all she had. My sister-in-law is fighting it now! Don';t look up too much information. Take it in small doses because you will read a lot of negative things. Use music to soothe your spirit and pray every time you receive treatments...that it will work! Pray over the chemo...that it will work. Take all of it and do your best to fight it!!!

Get mad at it, get treatment, and find a support group that is targeted at someone your age with the same kind of cancer. Fight back

first off, don't freak. you'd be surprised how powerful your mind and body are, especially when being positive. keep a positive attitude. find stuff that makes you laugh. not just a little teehee type laugh or a giggle. i'm talking all out laugh!

second, cut out the sugar. cancer cells love a particular environment. cut out the environment and it's hard to live. the body stops eliminating the waste of cancer cells, the waste starts backing up making the environment more to their liking. and when you order in catering for them , like sugary stuff, they have a feast and multiply faster. (if you see the words "corn syrup" or "high fructose corn syrup", run) so cut off their food supply, start eating real health food to help feed the surrounding cells that were malnutritioned, and get some proper exercise to help get the lymph system running again (the only way it circulates), to start flushing out the waste. (get a rebounder, aka a mini trampoline. you can do all kinds of routines on it, but you can just basically bounce up and down on it without your feet leaving the rebounder, just bounce. raise your arms up in the air and keep bouncing. 20 minutes a day is good. just put on a tv show you like if you want to and do it during the show.)

so basically this goes along with what doctors have said all along.

1. a healthy attitude
2. a healthy diet (healthy choice is not really health food, that's called marketing scheme)
3. healthy exercise
4. laughter is the best medicine.
5. love. friends, family, etc.
6. spirituality. doesn't mean you have to be religious. just find your spiritual center. in other words, RELAX. breathe deep. close your eyes. stop stressing. clear your mind. see the forest for the trees. see everything around you and just appreciate it without passing judgment. just be happy.

Educate yourself, do not just rely on what you are told by your oncologist....also dear, get a second opinion....and take charge of your healthcare, they may think you are a pain in the butt,,,,, but that is only because they are used to patients taking them at their word........hope all turns out well


sandcatsle
Take a deep breath. Before starting any treatment, research your options. Don't just go on what your doctor says. Both radiation and chemotherapy have a lot of negative side effects that will stay with you even if they get rid of the cancer. There are a lot of alternative therapies out there that do work. A couple of questions though. 1. What kind of cancer? 2. What is the cause? In theory, if you can reverse the cause, you will be that much closer to curing yourself. (ex: if you smoke, stop) If there is no real cause, work on getting yourself healthy. Another thing to keep in mind is how powerful suggestion is. If you let yourself believe that you are sick and not going to get better, you won't.

Your doctor should have referred you to a surgeon or specialist. DON'T PROCRASTINATE! Every minute counts. Get started on a treatment plan as soon as possible. I am one of the few survivors of Ewing's sarcoma. I beat it only because it was caught early on, and I began treatment immediately. Good luck.


jodie
What you do next is find strength you never knew you had. Ask your doctor what treatment he recommends then investigate to be sure you know all the risks and if it is right for you. Take control of your treatment the best you can and participate in all phases of your recovery. Find out all of your options and how far you want to go to save your life. Set boundaries and if you decide on treatment approach that decision with bravery and determination. Live everyday to its fullest and you will find how many things are just unimportant. Good luck!

Educate yourself about the type of cancer you have but don't overdo it !!!! Try to keep calm, ask for sleeping pills if you need them. Do what the doctors suggest, they know what they are dealing with. It is no fun, but with support from friends and family you get through this. Good luck to you. Keep your head up and fight.

You might find some good ideas in Beating Cancer With Nutrition and How to Prevent and Treat Cancer with Natural Medicine. Do get the best oncologist you can find to help you in your treatments. Never give up.
Good luck and God bless!

Talk to your doctor about starting a treatment plan and find cancer support groups so you can talk to people who have been through what you are going through.

The kind of cancer, where it is and how far along it is should be the deciding factors in any kind of treatment you decide on. Can you post more info?

Decide what your course of action is. If you want chemo or radiation, if surgery is an option. Discuss what your options are and then decide which would be best and right for you. You can beat cancer. It is not the death sentence that it once was. Live life to the fullest everyday that you can. Try not to be too petty about things. None of us, healthy or battling a disease, knows how long we will be around for sure!

go to the doc and fight it with all you got, stay positive.

Take a deep breath. Get a second, and third, opinion. Educate yourself. Read as much as you can on the type of cancer you have, even the things you might not want to think about right now.

You have to get yourself in survival mode -- this means standing up to doctors to get the answers you need, and having the courage to look for another one if you're not happy with the care you're getting.

No matter what the statistics say, assume you will survive this. Even the worst cancers have a 1% survival rate. Who says you can't be in the 1%?

Hang in there!

Honey you need to pray and listen to the doctors. And live life don't stay sad, depressed and couped up.

I can only tell you what I've been through with my mom having cancer. She was diagnosed when she was 18 and she is 46 today she is still kicking. The doctors told her that she wouldn't live to see her 40 b-day but she did it. Live life to it's fullest let others help you and if you are a strong willed person than there is no telling where you will go. Make sure your family knows and friends. Just remember god doesn't give us more than we can handle. Never lose yourself in the battle!
