Positive Attitude and Cancer !

Attitude, when the will to live is everything! How often do you hear the expression "the will to live" Does it have meaning? Can it prolong your life? Can it bolster your immune system? It has been unequivocally affirmed that the expression does have meaning and it can vastly improve the quality of life and may even prolong the life of a cancer survivor! The will to live is a force within us all to fight for survival when our lives are threatened by a disease such as cancer. Yet this force can be stronger in some people than in others. Sometimes the biology of cancer will dictate the course of events regardless of the patients attitude and fighting spirit. These events are often beyond our control. But patients with positive attitudes are better able to cope with disease-related problems and many respond to therapy better. One can be pessimistic or optimistic. We have known there is a direct correlation between the mind, the body and one's health, recently there has been a shift in health care towards recognizing the wisdom of the whole. For the part can never be well unless the whole is well. The will to live means that they really want to live, whether or not they're afraid to die. They want to enjoy life. They want to get more out of life, they believe their life is not over and they are willing to do whatever they can to squeeze most out of their day. With the threat of death often renews our appreciation for life, love, friendship and all that there is to enjoy! When bitterness and anger dissipates, there is a capacity for joy. You may worry so much that you lose sight of the possibility of recovery and lose your sense of optimism. A challenge is the balancing of worry and hope. With the nourishment of hope one can achieve the feelings of knowing and experiencing and appreciate the wonders of life.
