How To Cope With Cancer?

My family and friends were definitely the keys to my recovery. One thing that I do suggest is that anyone dealing with a life-threatening illness like cancer chooses a point person for people to call to find out how you are doing – a sister, brother, mother, father, daughter, son, or close friend. ~ Olivia Newton-John

Matthew 4:23 Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people.

Can You Trust God In All Circumstances?

Are you in cancer recovery?

When we are weak, with cancer recovery, God is still active and in control!

Discover Cancer Recovery!

Cancer or cancer recovery is not a death sentence like it might have been 50-75 years ago! Despite our high technology, we must never forget that God still is in control.

I have been blessed to have known four close friends and family members who have recently been diagnosed with cancer, and thank God they all have come out victorious after their treatment and recovery. If you are recovering from cancer, you will want to read on.
 
The good news about cancer recovery is that with the modern technology we have now, we have realized that doctors and researchers have come up with so many new types of weapons and have gained much knowledge on how to fight this aggressive disease. ~ Bill Greguska

My Family And Friends Battled Cancer With Victory!

Battling with cancer and recovery!

My niece Lora Kesselhon during her cancer recovery!

In the last couple of years now, I have personally experienced the healing of 4 close friends who had cancer. With the modern technology that we now have, over 40 years later. I have a better outlook on the word “cancer” since many people I know have recovered from it. My niece, Lora Kesselhorn, my former boss, Ron West, my friend and pastor, Mark Mallwitz, my pastor’s wife Sue Sauer, my friend from my Bible study Terri Stephen, all had cancer in the past couple of years, and all made a full recovery, thank God!

Plus, thousands of others successfully go through treatment and are living healthy lives today! This, too, shall pass, and with the technology that doctors have in the medical field at present and, of course, with faith in God. Disease and illness still can be scary, but have hope because God is in control.

When You Hear The Word Cancer?

Hearing the word “Cancer,” the first reaction is sadness and denial. Then anger and questioning God why?
Don’t hold back from those natural responses.
They are part of the process.
So much of what cancer patients go through is a process that requires patience, and patience involves perseverance.
That’s where holding on to God and holding on to faith are the best treatment plan that can be offered to you. ~ Milwaukee Froedtert Hospital Chaplaincy Service 
 

What To Say / Do With Someone Battling With Cancer:

Cancer recovery

Many people I know who had a bout with cancer and won. My pastor/friend Mark Mallwitz is one of those friends; we all prayed for Mark.

  • Show empathy, and do it quietly. A hug and a simple “I’m so sorry” or “Praying for you and love you!” made a real difference for me. Please don’t compare to others’ struggles or minimize their pain. (Avoid: “It could be worse. Time heals all wounds. It’s all part of a bigger plan, so don’t worry, and you wouldn’t believe what happened to; it’s not that bad.” or anything else that suggests that what they’re feeling is wrong).

 

  • Offer specific help, and let them say yes or no. Instead of a general let-me-know-if-I-can-help offer, be specific. It can be as simple as making a few phone calls on her behalf or running an errand or two. Why not offer to keep the kids for a few hours while she rests? Go by and fold some laundry for the family. Walk the dog. Bring over a hot meal for the family or some easy-to-microwave frozen meals for later. (Whatever you offer, be OK with their answer. If they decline your help, that’s OK. Let the decision be theirs.)

 

 

 

More Ideas In Offering Help!

  • Support; don’t fix. A phone call, text message, a simple note or card with a few encouraging words can mean so much. It can completely turn a dark day around. (“Thinking of you and praying for you!” are often enough.) Resist the urge to “fix” the situation for them (e.g., “You know what you need to do is…”); let God handle the “fixing” part.

 

  • Be present and willing to listen. Just be there. Wow, doesn’t that sound simple? Let them know you’re around and you’re still part of their life. Above all, listen. If they want to talk about it, listen, and hear what they say. If they’re going to be silent, be willing to stay with them in the quiet. Still, don’t fix it! Be prepared to answer, “This stinks, and I’m so sorry you’re going through it,” and stop there. ~ Melody from DaySpring

Cancer Prevention

An Ounce Of Prevention Is Better Than A Pound Of Cure!

I have never had cancer myself, but I have attempted to cut the risk down in ways that I do have control over, such as I quit smoking with God’s help on January 10, 1988, I do not lay out in the sun on purpose to get a suntan, etc. You can practice doing the same! ~ Bill Greguska
