Advice for Fighting CancerFighting cancer takes a person's mind, body and soul.
"I never thought of it as 'fighting'. Acceptance and faith are a big part of healing. I have been free of Hodgkin's for more than 30 years now." - Eric from Worthington, OH, United States "Take control of your health! The decisions are yours to make, not your doctors or your family. Receive multiple opinions on your diagnosis and treatment options and follow your head and your heart when it comes to choosing your doctor and treatment. Consider supplementing your treatment with alternative options such as chinese medicine and homeopathy as it helps to feel more in control of the situation." - Marissa from Chicago, IL, United States "Try to get your chemotherapy and/or radiation appointments scheduled for first thing in the morning - even though it's not fun to wake up early, it's even worse to sit in the waiting room in the afternoon when the hospital is running behind schedule." - John from Spokane, WA, United States "Be nice to the 'gate keepers' at the hospital - those that run the chemo check-in desk and the like. You might be able to score one of the private treatment rooms or get in for your treatment sooner!" - Anne from Des Moines, IA, United States "Write a thank-you letter to the doctor who was responsible for diagnosing you with cancer - they had to deliver horrible news to you (what a job!), yet without them, you may have not caught it in time..." - Jillian from New Orleans, LA, United States Return to Home from Advice for Fighting Cancer
