• Gamy Rachel
How did cancer impact your life regarding how you live your life now?
My Mom had cancer before you passed on.
What was your attitude towards dealing with your cancer, and health care team?
It is never easy to deal with such situation. However, after this experience
of taking care of my mom, I have learned that we must stand calm, not focusing on the disease itself but instead focus on how to get well instead.
Most importantly the care-giver must have extreme self-care on his/herself
in order to be able to take care of the sick patient.
Things to take extreme care are:
1. Health
- Take enough rest
(though sometimes it may not be possible due to the demands of the patient)
- Take supplements and vitamins to take care of your own immune system,
take supplements that gives you energy, because you will need lots of it.
2. Emotion
- This is very important, because if you are emotionally down yourself,
you will affect the patient and yourself too. Granted that you will feel
depressed, because care-givers are also human beings, so be sure
to use motivational, inspirational tools like books and audio messages
to pep up your emotionally state.
3. Delicate
- If you have siblings, try and share chores among yourselves and not
to take on everything by yourself.
What lessons did you learn from this experience?
* Health is very important.
* Our emotion is a vital factor to our entire health
* Taking the right food and supplements are also important.
* No matter what let loose and let go.
Were you able to let go of behaviors or attitudes that prevented you from living in the present and making it the most positive experience possible?
When I was the main care giver, it was hard. But now I do and have learned
that letting go of behaviors that are not beneficial to you will help a lot.
5. How did your having cancer or being a caregiver impact your friends, co-workers, and family?
It does have a impact on the people around you. I have also learned that being
Strong emotionally and physically is very important, and try not to depend
totally on others to give you 100% support. If they give, fine, if not it is also fine.
Don’t get so work up on it. Everybody has their own life to live.
6. Did your purpose in life change and if so why or why not and how did it change?
Yes. Have learned to take life on a lighter side.
7. What role does prayer or meditation play in your coping with this disease?
Prayer is good. But only depending on prayer and without action on our
part will not bring results too. It has to be combined.
What role does humor or wit play in your coping with this disease?
Certainly it does help. Instead of focusing on the negative situation all
the time, redirect your attention and focus to something more positive.
Like reading motivation books, listen to motivational messages, music
And talking to supporting friends and people around you will help
a lot. Try to stay away from negative people.
What would you want other cancer patients or their families and friends to know regarding living and not dying from cancer?
It is sometimes hard to be positive when you are going through this journey.
So I would recommend that, to help you to redirect you attention on yourself
and your sickness, redirect your focus. Using brainwave technology,
affirmation words to help alter your thoughts.
Other comments you would like to share:
Stay strong, yes, it’s easier said then done, so that’s why I highly recommend
you to use tool to alter your thoughts.
One program I highly recommend to listen to is Think Right Now.
You can find information from my blog http://www.mindthinksuccess.com

Listen to a real life interview with Carrie Carr, who suffered debilitating Panic
attack for two years, and how she recovered after listening to
Think Right Now program to help altered her thinking.
Lasting, I have created a movie entitled “It Starts In Your Heart”
