So You Have Cancer 3 Steps For Your Consideration

You don’t feel any different, except for little things here and
there that are more annoying than frightening Your life has
been good, just like everyone else’s: some ups, some downs, some
exhilarations, some crisis Nothing truly extraordinary You
work, you pay taxes, you have a family, you are satisfied, you
have friends, pets, co-workers, children, partners, a car or a
house, or both, you have credit cards, you eat all right, you
groom yourself, you make love, and so on and so forth You think
your life is ok; you know you are ok
Then just like that, something in you appears to be a little
funny So you make an appointment with your physician Next
thing you know, you are swarmed with physicians, exams, tests,
and finally the diagnosis It is cancer You panic You feel
disbelief Me? No way I am so healthy! Everyone panics You?
Impossible You are so healthy! You always felt so good! You
don’t feel any different But now things have changed
permanently in your life
First comes the pressure Urgency is required You are not
allowed any time to think things over and decide what you want
to do and how you are going to do it Conventional wisdom tells
you to do three things: surgery, radiation, chemotherapy People
expect you to do them, the medical establishment demands you do
them You think you have no choice You don’t know better You
are now very afraid you are going to die
Though the hurry may seem justified, there are 3 things you need
to do before taking action:
1 Accept responsibility for your own life; your own doings,
your own healing
You and only you can decide what course of action to take and
when After all, it is your life and no one knows it better than
yourself Be grateful for the support you receive from others
but do what you think is best for you
2 Take time for yourself
When they know you have been hurt (or, yikes, diagnosed), people
will want to speak with you; they will want to help you, they
will want to see you Accept their help but take time to
concentrate
Give yourself time Go on a retreat, if you can, or spend quiet
time in prayer and meditation Be silent Be still Ask Spirit
for the best course of action Pray for inspiration and wait It
will come to you
3 Go deep into your wound, whatever it is
Cry, grieve your losses, go to your underworld if you must (just
like Orpheus) You will come back from it a much stronger
person Do what you need to do without pretenses You must be
true to your hurt, to your feelings Your acceptance that you
are hurt is your biggest step for your true healing Just don’t
dwell in the question “Why” because you will have no answer that
will satisfy you On the contrary, it will do you no good
Forget that one and you will feel better
Taking these first steps will do an incredible amount of good
Then, you will have your decision Follow it with an open heart
Know that everything that happens to you happens for your
highest good
