Positive Things You Should Do If You Have Cancer

If you have cancer, you may be feeling very helpless and unable to change the situation you are in. While it is normal to feel this way, you should not give up on living a positive life. You may have to endure tests and treatments, and this will be very hard, but following the advice here may ease some of the burden.

Tip: Be present for your readers. Make a habit of responding to reader comments.

It is very important for you to stay social and active. Isolating oneself and brooding is something that many cancer patients understand. The feeling of hurt, anger and sadness become so overwhelming that it is difficult to express that with others. You probably have people out that that are ready and willing to be in your corner, but the reality is that they may not feel like they are wanted. Don't allow your feelings of pride or resentment to stop you from spending time with others. You may notice a bit of awkwardness from those around you, but let them know that it is okay to conduct themselves as they normally would.

Tip: Use search engine optimization techniques to help improve your blog's readership. Your ultimate goal includes people reading your blog, so have it visible in search engine results.

Support groups are a great resource for anyone that has been diagnosed with cancer. They are full of people like you that are experiencing some of the same emotions, so you can feel comfortable sharing. Many times people find that it helps to talk to others that can truly understand what you are going through. There are support groups available in many areas, so you should be able to find one near where you live. If there are none near you, many support forums online can be a great resource.

Tip: Comment on other blogs to raise your blog's profile. Keep track of all the blogs you wish to follow in a special folder using Google Reader.

Go out and give yourself a makeover. This may not seem like it will really do much help, but it does. Your mood and morale may be very low at this time, so getting a makeover is a great way for you to feel better about yourself. Buy some new clothes, get your hair done and schedule a day at the spa. None of these things will make your cancer go away, but they will help put you in better spirits, and you really need that if you want to stay strong.

Tip: Keep in mind there is a world outside of blogging. It is easy to burn out if you spend all your time on the computer, so make sure you devote some time to other activities.

Look around for stories from other people that have survived your particular type of cancer. Knowing that there are people out there that have had the same thing and lived through it is a good way to pump you up for a fight. As stated earlier, feelings of hopelessness are very common with people that have cancer. Once you realize that others have battled it and won, it will make you fight that much harder.

As you can probably tell, cancer is one of the worst enemies you will ever have. It may be very difficult to fight it, but you have to if you want to survive. There will be days where you feel like giving up, but it is important that you keep going and give it your best. Using the tips above should make things a bit more manageable.
