Positive Cancer

When Cancer hits one of the most important things you can do is deal with relationships in your life. I don’t mean go and find everyone you ever knew and make them your best friends or closest family member, I mean deal with the people that deal with you. Find the ones that care for you, and those that don’t can go to the wayside. I’ve said this in previous posts, but I have no time for people who don’t want to deal with my Cancer. I deal with my Cancer, my family deals with my Cancer, and my friends deal with my Cancer. It’s that simple, you’re in or your out. This post isn’t a rant on how friends can vanish when you’re sick though it nearly headed there, it’s about why talking to others will help you.

It’s not easy opening up to people, but by sharing emotions through words you can make yourself feel better, more in control, and more able to deal with adversity. It’s important to share emotions because it’s a doorway to your own feelings and can help you understand, and control them, rather than be overwhelmed by them. Also, by talking to others you can allay your own fears and relegate Cancer to the background by making yourself feel less alone, and more normal. Normal is great for someone in our situations, in fact it’s very Positive.

Talking to others will help you strengthen the bonds of family or friendship between you and by doing so will make you feel better about what will happen down the road. In my case I’m not concerned for my own life, but rather what those who are left behind will do with my absense. By talking to my family I feel better and more secure knowing that my kids will grow up provided for and loved. This in turn releases stress, makes me healthier, and gives me the all important Positive mind set. Strengthen the bonds, and that strength will in turn help you.

It’s very important for you to take time to talk to children, as it will in turn allow them to understand how to express themselves later in life, or during any difficult times that may arise. Children feel stress and sadness when someone they know has Cancer, so give them another weopon to deal with it, and do this by example. Talk to children, not necessarily about Cancer but instead about how to express themselves. This will make them feel better, and you will feel better also.

Talk to others to enjoy your life, talk to others to prolong your life, and talk to others just to hear your voice.
