HEARING THE BELL

If cancer has announced YOUR bell lap, what will you do? No one enters a race to lose, yet some in the human race collapse on the track when the bell rings, or they just turn tail and take off in the wrong direction. This blog is not about them. It's about those who set out to win, not just in terms of health, but also in life.

Anyone can be victorious, but it doesn't come easily or without work. No one can do it for you. This is do it yourself stuff. You can't buy it. You can't hire it out. You are the only contestant in your race. Although winning doesn't look the same for everyone, but it feels the same --triumphant!

So you have Cancer? What is it going to do to your life and what can YOU do about it? That is the question! 

Thirty years of caring for cancer patients has taught me that they are fighting a war on two fronts, one conventional and the other unconventional, against two adversaries, one you can see and one that you can’t, one you can feel and measure called a malignancy that attacks your body and another enemy you can only sense in the dark that one of my patients calls the “Dragon”. It attacks your life!
