Creating meaning in the face of blood cancer
zhlédnutí 196Před 5 měsíci
Major life changes can bring into focus what is important in life, what matters most and what brings relief & joy. However, it can also give rise to the fear of having little or no life purpose and meaning, especially in the face of blood cancer. Research has found that the presence of meaning in a person’s life increases its quality and, in the setting of cancer can be predictive of wellbeing....

    I’ve always been a healthy, active person. I don’t take any medications, I eat the best I can, and I walk at least two miles every day. I also get my routine mammogram every year. In November 2019, I went in for my annual screening. Several days later, my doctor called to tell me they’d found a suspicious area, so I needed to go back for a follow-up mammogram and an ultrasound. After that, a biopsy confirmed that I had breast cancer. When I received my diagnosis, my husband and I decided to get a second opinion. I’ve heard good things about Nature Care Health Clinic, which happens to be a well known and certified clinic known for treating various types of chronic diseases and illness such as cancer, diabetes,tuberculosis,lymphoma etc Before this time, i was suppose to undergo Lumpectomy as suggested by my oncologist but he suggested and referred us to Nature Care Health Clinic cause he has had lots of similar cases as regards my diagnosis and most of them came out with positive testimonies.Not withstanding, we contacted the Clinic as He suggested, and we started our treatment with them following their prescriptions accordingly. Few weeks later, I began noticing drastic improvement in my body generally, this natural formula was so effective,It helps in lowering blood pressure and lowering blood glucose levels. Therefore, it is really good for hyperglycemic, Cancer and diabetic people. It also reduces fatigue, etc promotes tissue regeneration and so many other functions. I guarantee you will stand 100% chance to beat your condition. This formula helps to boost your immune system and can eliminate cancer cells from blood cells, it shrinks cancer tumors gradually. Trust me, this is one of the best treatments for cancer and the side effects that come after its treatments. This formula practically beats my thought and perceptions about natural products,I use to be a strong critic of such especially when it comes to chronic illness such as cancer. I am indeed happy that I gave it a shot and I can confidently assure you that a trial will actually convince you. have also recommended their services to many individuals as well and most of them can also testify positively to their services (even if i haven't got feedback from some of them). however i will leave their contact below just in case any one wishes to contact them, I am sure this will absolutely help so many individuals with similar illness you can always reach out to them via email: @ Naturecarehealthclinic@outlook.com

    Hullo. My name's Elisabeth. Thank you for these videos and the obvious wonderful support you give to people living with blood cancer. I'm being tested for MDS in 2 weeks. I'm scared about what's possibly ahead for me, and having no control over my cells and body. I'm trying not to project into the future, what possibly might be, but I'm aware of the possible reality ahead. My cousin had leukemia, and is living her second life because of an overseas bone marrow donor. I also feel grateful that your organisation exists, and for the wonderful haematology service and cancer centre where I live in northern NSW. You are inspiring people. !!If I have mds, I hope to gain strength from you all, as well as my own strengths. I love the section on finding joys in your daily life. Family friends, playing the piano, music and nature are some of mine. I've always tried to feel a level of serenity and acceptance no matter what happens. I'm not sure how that will happen if. Ill be contacting LF. I believe we all have strengths were not aware of. Music helps me a lot. I used to do music therapy in aged care and hope to resume this in health settings.

    Thank you for sharing! i am 26 and also had a CML diagnosis 2 months ago. I went for a check up because i had broken my rip a couple of months prior and still had a strange feeling in the stomach area! Turned out that was not related to my sports injury but to my to the size of my spleen! Doctor said it was 10 times the normal size and then he went out to make some phonecall. came back and told me i had to go to the hospital immediately and they would expect me there. Due to the size of my spleen and some other blood tests they intitialy thought it was ALL in the last phase of the disease wich made me think i was goner for a short while until they came back with the bonemarrow results and told me it was CML. Its incredible how that diagnosis can hit you like you described as well. I did not even charge my phone before going to the doctor thinking it was just an ordinary day of my semester holidays. I wish you all the best and hope that you are still doing well.

My dr suspected leukemia. My neutrophils were high in 2021 as well. I lost 55 pounds in a 2 month period. I began throwing every cancer type of herb at it as a precaution. Thunder God Vine, Serrapeptase and a lot more. I stopped losing weight and all of my red and white blood cells are back to normal. My dr is confused and so am I.
