There isn
’t any doubt that Positive thinking is valuable after you find out you have cancer.
But will positive thoughts help the cancer go away?
There have been a number of studies on this subject, but none of the studies say that positive thinking is a factor in helping cancer go away, or that negative feelings can make cancer worse.
So, is there a reason to have a positive attitude? Of course there is.
While I understand the danger of my illness, I choose not to focus on statistics. I always imagine myself as being among the smaller group of patients who survive. Why do I do that? So I can sleep well; so I can plan a trip for two days from now; so I have a reason to begin writing another book with the expectation that Ican reach out to someone else who
’ll finish it; so my husband and I can enjoy lunch out; so I
’s having a difficult time and offer them encouragement.
A positive attitude can also help family members feel better so they can contribute to a more loving family environment. Most cancer patients, as well as their family members, know all too well how dangerous cancer can be. It
’s difficult to carry on when patients receive bad news. But a
positive attitude helps me want to do things that I know are beneficial to my health, and helps me through the thinning hair, tiredness and low blood counts which are the side effects treatment.
So, I prefer to stay happy and positive. I do my best not to think too much about all the hospital visits, and I try not to panic if I feel any pain. Instead, I seek joy as much as I can, and because I am seeking joy, I find joy. Being positive might not save you from cancer, but I can almost guarantee you that if you are positive, you will find meaning in your life, as well as happiness in every day that you live.
25. According to the first two paragraphs, studies show that . A. positive thinking can save patients from cancer B. negative thinking is very likely to make cancer worse C. positive thinking cannot help patients get rid of cancer
