Positif attitude when you get Mesothelioma

In the following survival framework, there are four steps that are necessary in order to cultivate the desire to continue living and a determination to fight meslthelioma cancer while at the same time keeping a realistic and positive quality of life.
Curse it. It's considered normal and healthy to be upset and downright angry about your medical condition. Anyone with cancer of any type is going to be in a rage about their cancer, whether he or she is consciously aware of this or not. Anger and rage are forms of energy that should be expressed unless they become destructive to others or to oneself. Why should these emotions be discharged? Because surpressing them may create undesired and harmful conditions such as emotional paralysis, depression, withdrawal, or suicide.

Bear it. Face the truth, no matter how difficult this is. This requires avoiding denial, wishful thinking, feeling sorry for oneself, living as if you have become a victim, or blaming yourself for your disease. It is very important to avoid continuous negative thinking. In short, a negative attitude can actually become an emotional malignancy that will compound your physical maligancy.

Combat it. After you face and accept your medical condition and its implications, you are in a better position to battle your disease and optimize your chance of recovery, both physically and emotionally. Seek out the best possible medical treatment rather than simply going through the motions with less than optimal treatment.

Laugh at it. People who work with cancer patients often discuss the therapeutic importance of laughter and a good sense of humor. A good laugh can actually make a person with this disease feel better about life, both from a physical and an emotional perspective. From a mesothelioma research standpoint, it has been shown that humor helps in the healing process by bolstering the immune system. In other words, your outlook can make a tremendous difference in the healing process---so laugh and try to be happy

If you have mesothelioma or another form of cancer, make it a point on a daily basis to watch funny movies, videos, re-runs, and comedies that keep you laughing. Go to your local library and find joke books or stories about comedians. Become a master at finding funny and positive things in life that help you keep your spirits positive.

Mesothelioma and Cancer

Sorry to say,its not about positif but its is also important thing we must know,
lets read about this information
I would like to discuss some key information about cancer. Since mesothelioma is a form of cancer, an overall discussion of cancer can actually shed some light on a more particular form of cancer such as mesothelioma.
Chemotherapy is the most commonly used treatment for cancer. Although radiation therapy and surgery destroy cancer cells in a particular specified area, chemotherapy, on the other hand, is a more generalized treatment. That is, chemotherapy kills cancer cells throughout the body by tracking down and attacking malignant cells that have spread from the source of the tumor to other parts of the body.
Radiation therapy, surgery, and chemotherapy are not only the the most commonly used treatments for cancer in general, but they are also the "traditional mesothelioma treatments" used for malignant mesothelioma.
Cigarette smoke, with its high concentration of carcinogens, inhaled by both smokers and non-smokers, is the leading cause of lung cancer. Facts about environmental exposure to radon (a cancer-causing, radioactive gas) compounded with smoking increases the risk of lung cancer.
People have mistaken assumptions about the cause of lung cancer. Many, if not most people believe that cigarette smoking is the cause of all types of lung cancers. This widespread misinformation makes it even more critical for these individuals to become aware of asbestos-related lung cancer. Smoking is certainly a major factor, but clearly not the only cause of lung cancer.
Billions of dollars are spent on cancer research each year throughout the world. Much of the current cancer research is funded by charity organizations. Fortunately, these organizations are doing their part to help fight this deadly disease.
Today's Mesothelioma Tip: As with many forms of cancer, mesothelioma can spread very quickly. Symptoms of mesothelioma can include shortness of breath, chronic coughing, loss of weight, and chest pains. If the malignant mesothelioma cancer is diagnosed early enough, the tumor can be surgically removed, and with radiation treatment and chemotherapy, a full recovery is at times possible. Obviously, a key in full recovery is the diagnosis of the disease at a very early stage.
Until next time, stay healthy and keep your eye on the latest developments in mesothelioma research and information :-)

Now that I'm older, here's what I've discovered: I started out with nothing, I still have most of it.

My wild oats have turned to prunes and All Bran.

I finally got my head together, now my body is falling apart.

Funny, I don't remember being absent minded.

All reports are in. Life is now officially unfair.

If all is not lost, where is it?

It is easier to get older than it is to get wiser.

Some days you're the dog, some days you're the hydrant.

I wish the buck stopped here. I sure could use a few ...

Kids in the back seat cause accidents; accidents in the back seat cause kids.

It's hard to make a comeback when you haven't been anywhere.

The only time the world beats a path to your door is if you're in the bathroom.

When I'm finally holding all the cards, why does everyone decide to play chess?

It's not hard to meet expenses ... they're everywhere.

The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth.

If God wanted me to touch my toes, he would have put them on my knees
