The Value Of Stories About Overcoming Cancer

By John McDonald


We all hope that cancer never strikes us. However, every year millions of people confront this in one way or another. The internet has become a community bulletin board for those who need help to get through it. Online stories about overcoming cancer can be informative and comforting. Posted resources may help people find local support, but many also find the virtual experience valuable.

There are many testimonies. Some of the most powerful are told by families or friends of people who succumbed to the disease. However, they did so in a way that made such an impact on those left behind that they will never be forgotten. The courage with which these brave souls faced the end of life, pain, or other consequences make many 'normal' lives seem of little worth.

There are also many triumphant reports of remission and recovery. Doctors and family members say that having the desire to get better is very important, and hearing about survivors can motivate those who hope to regain their health. Knowing that recovery is possible can also make present suffering bearable.

Then there is prayer and divine intervention. Many reports of miraculous healing are actually documented by doctors and nurses. People may have a dire diagnosis and the x-rays to prove it and find the tumors gone before medical treatments start. Miracles happen often in the Bible, and Christians actually have a duty to ask for healing for themselves and others.

Television evangelists pray for the sick and receive word of miraculous healing, which listeners are invited to claim for themselves and others. Books have been written by skeptical journalists who investigated claims of divine healing and were forced to report them valid. People who have others praying for them often report better reactions to chemotherapy, less pain and fear, and faster recovery than was predicted for them.

Survivors as well as those who have lost friends or family have made walks to raise funds and public awareness very popular and influential events. Media attention is high for the walkers, who wear pink and slogan T-shirts and carry flags and banners. Millions have pink ribbons on their cars and donate to research for the Cure. Look online for dates of these events, as well as healthy lifestyle tips and nutritious recipes.

Many stories can be found on the sites of treatment centers. These are like customer reviews and can be informative and helpful. There are many decisions to be made and people should do research before making them. It's also helpful to know what happens during treatment and therapy. Families and caregivers can feel better equipped if they know what to expect.

Above all, the accounts of those who have gone down this difficult road before can bring hope that good things can still happen even with cancer in the picture.
