How would you react if you have CANCER?

I would be terrified, but try tio stay positive. it is a horrible disease, so cruel, but they can do a lot these days, to help you beat it, so i would have faith, pray a lot, and try to remain positive, that i would get better. I would be very scared though, it is a frightening disease, i think everyone dreads being diagnosed with....

If I was told that I have cancer, I would want to know two things right away. One, how bad is it and two, what can I do to fight it. I am a strong willed person and do ot give up easily. I would be a bit upset, but ready to stand and fight every step of the way.

of course i will be depressed and sad by that time but i will not let my depression and sadness be the center of my life. I will try hard to fight for it because i love my life and most importantly, prayers of acceptance and healing. I believe in the power of positive thinking. I will still find hope in what it seems to be a hopeless situation because as what they say losing hope is the greatest sin man can ever commit.

If my doctor told me that I had cancer, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised. My mom had cancer, so I know what to expect. I help to nurse her back to health. She's a big inspiration to me. I'd be able to look back at what she went through, and channel her strength as I'm going through the same situation. If I somehow avoid getting cancer, even though various family members have gotten some form of it before, great. I'd rather not have to deal with the unfortunate disease myself. If I do fall victim to it however, I'm not gonna sulk about it. There are a lot of things we can't control in the world. Feeling sorry for yourself, with a why me mentality, isn't going to make the situation any better. You have to be strong mentally for yourself, and those around you.

Cancer is such a terrible disease, I should know. As what my son, a nurse, has seen in the hospital here, the patients are stricken with denial, anger, fear and, most of all, depression. I could say that this will have to be my reaction if ever the big C strikes me. But not only depressed for my lot, but it also goes out to my children and friends, for they would lose someone who is irreplaceable. In that case, I will use my remaining time preparing for the children whom I will leave behind.
