Going Back to Work With Cancer By Serg Born Platinum Quality Author

Jim Madden tells how going back to work helped him to get back to normal after being treated for Hodgkin's Disease.
'The first inkling I had that something was wrong was when I drank alcohol. Even a single glass of wine caused a slight pain in my shoulder. So I gave up, but two months later, with the first sip of wine, the pain returned and I decided to see my doctor.'
When he went to his GP, he was told that this sensation was quite normal in middle-aged asthmatics, so, reassured, he returned to his work as a college lecturer. But the pains continued so Jim went back to his GP who suggested a chest X-ray. Unfortunately, it was not until six weeks later that Jim finally went for his X-ray and was told by a worried-looking radiologist that he most probably had Hodgkin's Disease.

Colon Cancer - A Healing Story from France 65 By ChrisTeo

In June 2007 we received an email from Fil (not real name) from France. He wrote to seek help for his 77-year-old father, Jak (note real name) who had been diagnosed with colon cancer. Five years before his cancer diagnosis the doctor had told Jak that something was not right with his brain. He very often suffered vertigo.
Jak’s problem started with severe bleeding while in the toilet. He was immediately hospitalized and on 1 June 2007 underwent an operation to remove part of his sigmoid colon. In his email, Fil wrote: Today, he is in very poor condition. He tries to get up but walking is very difficult. He needs help. He prefers staying in bed. He has very bad appetite and little hope of healing. He does not want to undergo chemotherapy or radiotherapy.

Life After Cancer and an Anniversary of Sorts By Jerry Shelly

Just sitting here, trying to decide if I want to work on my knitting or play with clay, when it hit me. It was about this time in 2006 when my life was turned upside down. I got the phone call telling me "it's not what we hoped". And here I am. Four years later. Wow. And thanks to whoever makes those decisions. Thanks to an outstanding group of physicians. Even you, Eeyore.
My hair is grown out, just past my shoulders. It's still not my hair, but I've worked out a deal with it. My eyelashes are just weird. I'm numb down my left side. I take the medications, just like Eeyore tells me to. There are many, many side effects to them, but none of them are as bad as being dead. Or at least I don't think so.

Miracles Do Happen - You Can Cure Yourself Of Cancer By Carol E Patterson

My story is one of a woman who survived cancer with alternative cancer treatment. When I was diagnosed with cancer the second time, all the visions of pain, medical procedures, doctors, waiting rooms and horrible sickness revived in my mind. My eyes swelled with tears as I thought of the worst. How could all of this be happening to me again? I had been diagnosed with throat cancer two years earlier and treated with the normal cancer cures of chemotherapy and radiation. The cancer went into remission. With my immune system down, I attracted an amoeba in my right eye causing blindness for almost a year plus I had a heart attack and heart surgery. I survived all of these trials and was getting well again, or so I thought.

Trini Parsons—Cancer Scare Strengthens Connection to God

Trini Parsons has seen her share of women with breast cancer. As an x-ray technologist at Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center, that's hardly surprising. But in the summer of 2005, she came across a cancer patient in an unusual place—her own mirror.

What Parsons has learned about herself since then has been enlightening. “I am much more upbeat,” she says. “I don't let things get me down. I am much calmer about many things.”
