What would you do if you had cancer?

[ariesr]

I think I did that some time ago and annoyed the Admins. Forums have their limits in sharing whatever it was.

Post deleted so as to avoid conflict. Apologies for sharing my thoughts and my reality.

This sounds almost like a school assignment . What got you interested in this question javalinar?

This thread is going in the wrong direction... so I just want to clarify the first point I made (if you also resonate with this statement) is "you are not afraid to die". If this topic makes you uncomfortable, skip the thread.

All things considered, the thought of having cancer is something that produces a lot of fear/concern/worry in people. This thread is not really meant to dwell in that realm. It is more of, accepting a certain reality of life that happens to some people for x number of reasons (physical, emotional, spiritual, environmental, lifestyle, genetics, etc) and that because we're on a spiritual journey of growth/development (as IA56 pointed out), what are PRACTICAL ways to approach this.

To go even deeper as to why I'm asking, I felt something "out of place" in my body over the past few weeks while doing energy work. I have the genetic factor and strong family history, but honestly, I don't feel fear or worry. It's not like I'm constantly dwelling in thoughts/fears that will eventually manifest that fear (LOA). I don't fear cancer/death, but I have two young children and a husband who is on a different spiritual path/journey. Matter of fact, he is a scientist, more specifically, an oncology researcher for a major pharma, and relies on hard data when it comes to any kind of medical treatment. Basically, anything related to the spiritual aspect of health/healing is pseudoscience. So if cancer were to be diagnosed, I'm most certain that he will pressure me to do a form of treatment I don't want to do.

It would be one thing if my own health/thoughts/reaction/choices affect only me but that's not how it works most of the time with cancer patients.

That said, this thread is NOT about me. It's a philosophical question to get a discussion going, so again, if this topic makes you uncomfortable, you can skip this thread.

Yes, I did read your right
I am very interested to discuss this topic because it is to be solved to have the right mindset so to speak...to see this from a energy level....it is possible...I am little bit in hurry...but I am very interested to penetrate this issue...thank you for bringing it up...it is this kind of issues we ought to disscuss...this is what make us evolve as humans...

Love

I share BW's sentiments. Not even thinking about a negative "what-if-I..." is the best way.

I'd even go so far that I am "sure" that I won't develop cancer. Call it mindset or just an affirmation or whatever. Call me a fool if you will.

On a sidenote, as an "evolving" naturopath you can of course safely assume that I would not go for orthodox treatment. By now, I know lots of 'alternative' treatments that work to alleviate or even heal completely certain types of cancer (and some treatments can be applied to all types). Therefore I would try a lot of them (provided I can afford them because some are costly, even more in their sum when you want to do all of them simultaneously).

But again: enough said. I agree with BW, let's better not even think about such things.

I like how you clarified your intent and gently stayed true javalinar.

I agree with your last sentiment, javalinar. Once again, if you'd like me to share my experience I'll be happy to do so in private.

This is interesting & humorous to a certain degree !

i got my cancer diagnosis early this Jan. after having a mole removed that had grown 3 times it's original size over a period of a few months.

N.H.S. care professionals diagnosed me with an 'at least' stage 2 malignant melanoma condition & following on from this i was then 'kindly offered' [strongly advised to take / have] more N.H. recommended services & treatments, which after some time of contemplation i later declined.

Currently using Essiac, some supplements, diet changes [of which i need to get back on] & Wholesoulwork

I'm not willing to go there, not even for the sake of a forum thread.

I'm with Bttrfly here. I can't even read this thread, in the same way I must stay away from WebMD. I can't let these sort of thoughts into the rich earth of my Mind where my imagination will take hold. Like BW, I have made myself sick over and again simply dwelling on being sick.

I'd give you some examples but I'd rather not - 'not even for the sake of a forum thread'
