Beyond Cancer ....................Borrowed Text

Dr. Bernie Siegel MD, the author of the book Living, Loving & Healing, talked about a liver cancer survivor by the name of Fay Finkelstein, who wrote a letter to another liver cancer patient

In her letter she wrote the following 9 aspects of her thoughts, that should be shared with everyone:

One: Don't believe anyone who tells you when you will die.

Two: Nobody knows when another person will die.

Three: Liver cancer doesn't mean death, necessarily.

Four: If you want to live, fight for it.

Five: Get away from anyone who doesn't support whatever action you decide to take for yourself, and that even includes family.

Six: Find something, anything, that you truly love to do and throw yourself completely into this activity. It will become a form of meditation for you. It will take your mind off your illness and allow your body to heal itself.

Seven: If a doctor offers you a treatment and you believe in it, do it.

Eight: Believe in yourself.

Nine: Death is not a failure. Everyone dies. Just give life the best shot. I have been on different chemotherapy for two years. The drugs I believe in worked, the drugs I didn't like not only didn't work, but the tumors grew.

Remember that laughter and joy are life enhancing healing message to every cell of the body. It is important to be happy as our body will recognized that we are happy.

Shut your door to anger and sadness, as the body will acknowledge these negativities, and it will start harboring anger, sadness and resentment, and you will not want that for ever.

You be strong please.
