Coping With Cancer
It is no accident you have come to this web site. It means you, or someone you know, has been diagnosed with Cancer. Cancer strikes with little reason. It does not discriminate and chooses it victims regardless of wealth or social status. It has a cruel way of robbing one of their dignity, self-respect, and independence. It can be physically and financially draining, oftentimes stealing one's hope and joy. In short, it can be very difficult to cope with Cancer.
Through this journey, you will experience a number of differing emotions, which can be very confusing. Just remember that in most circumstances, what you are feeling is a normal reaction to an abnormal situation. There are a number of feelings many people have after a diagnosis of Cancer. Some persons report experiencing each one, while others only some, so it is difficult to say exactly what you will feel along the way.
For example, some people have reported feelings of vulnerability, depression, anger, fear, and hopelessness. Others have indicated they were forced to face their own mortality and for the first time in their life consider whether they would survive Cancer. Still, others search for reason, understanding, and emotional support to help them deal with Cancer. The important thing to remember is that while there are many similarities in how people deal with Cancer, each person is different
You will find that there is a wealth of information about the medical side of Cancer, but not nearly as much to address the spiritual and emotional side of your battle. That is where we as a family at Cancer Care come into the picture, WE CARE!
