MAKE NEW FRIENDS<br />

Many new people will enter your life if<br />

you have cancer as you put together a team<br />

to help develop a treatment plan. These<br />

helpers are medical professions, such<br />

as doctors and nurses. They also include<br />

aides and counselors and administrative<br />

personnel. Nobody has ever won a cancer<br />

battle on their own, and there’s no reason<br />

to stress yourself out trying. Let the people<br />

who can help you do their jobs.<br />

MANAGE YOUR EXPECTATIONS<br />

Your expectations are often<br />

different from reality. You have to prepare<br />

yourself for that. You should appreciate<br />

any and all support that you receive.<br />

COMMUNICATE YOUR FEELINGS<br />

If you do not feel as if you are<br />

getting enough support from your family<br />

and friends, approach the topic with them<br />

in a polite way. Gently provide them with<br />

an explanation on the reason behind your<br />

need for help, and the things they can do<br />

to help you. Proceed with caution, however<br />

as this is a difficult time. Always lead with<br />

love and don’t have any regrets.<br />

FIGHT AND STAY MOTIVATED<br />

Don’t be scared to take cancer on.<br />

This is not just any fight; you are fighting<br />

for your life. If you refuse to give up and<br />

stay motivated, your chances of beating<br />

cancer could increase.<br />
