How To Remain Positive During Cancer

It’s true, it’s no mumbo jumbo! Remaining positive is the best drug you can take.

The brain controls the whole body.

Chemotherapy

I know many people say this is incorrect, but this happened to me personally.

I was diagnosed with myeloma at the age of forty. I was so scared of losing my hair, that I bought a wig and started to wear it even before I lost my hair. Just before going into hospital for chemo I had my hairdresser come to my home to cut all my hair off. He hugged me and told me I was beautiful.

My mum cried.

The injection was quick and the vomiting was immediate. The nurses would come in my room and take care of me, but there was this one nurse who told me I was allowed to be negative, I didn’t always have to put up a brave face.

I told myself I would be positive because I was going to live

So everything would be alright. It was a mindset thing, if I kept saying this over and over, then I would believe it. So what’s a couple of injections and vomiting, if I am going to live! THAT’S WHY I was always so positive.

I was in a sterile room for 7 days, the nurse said the minimum was 7 days and the maximum depended on the patient’s blood count. My brain just registered ‘THE MINIMUM’ and aimed for that.

It was a difficult time for me not being able to leave the room, I felt suffocated and realized that windows were not allowed to be opened. In fact I was in a medical prison. I created a routine; I would wake up and have a shower after breakfast and GET DRESSED!!

This was important for me not to feel like a patient. I asked for a stationary bike to be put in my room, so I would bike for 20 mins. After my bed was done, I would Increase the height of my bed to the maximum where I I near the ceiling, but more importantly, distancing myself from the machines and being closer to the skies. In fact, all I could see was the sky. I felt like I was in heaven. A spiritual path was created from here.

I came out of ‘aplasia’ on the date my brain had decided it was the minimum. The nurses were arguing who was going to tell me the good news, so that all came in together to tell me. That said that it is very rare to see this and my positive mindset played a huge part.

I promised life and myself that I would live a positive life. That’s when I became a life coach.
