If It Isn't Written In Stone, Is It So?

Most people don't go to the doctor unless they can sense something is wrong or not just right with their health. If however, you happen to be or know of someone who, during a routine exam, found they have major health issues in the form of a tumor or cancer diagnosis commonly referred to as a terminal illness and can usually mean a certain and untimely death.

This sounds harsh but one of the strongest things that you have is your mind. It is one of your greatest assets to making a recovery or even attempting one. While it is important to have routine screenings and to get the tests you need to effectively fight off illness it is important not to buy into these diseases too much. While cancers, especially certain types of them, can come with a grim prognosis there is something to be said about keeping your head in the game.

Once being diagnosed with a serious illness most people lay down and die. They stop living and start medical treatments which effectively help to destroy their bodies while just feeding the minds sense of dying. It is a downward spiral that takes the life right out of individuals and while many believe that getting a diagnosis and receiving treatments will help to keep them alive, many times the process works inversely and actually steals more life than it saves.

In the patient realm, it is very common to see very very few people pay any attention to the diagnosis and even less who put up a fight from the start. If there is a straw of life saving hope in the saving techniques that could save the life, the toxicity of the drugs and treatments will usually suck out and destroy the body's strength, allowing death to prevail. Watching the body and the fight to live hang in the balance is not a pretty picture for anyone to watch.

So go for your routine check-ups and proceed with caution through your process knowing that whatever you do in this life the end for all of us lies with death and while there are many things that you can do to help keep yourself alive for longer many of their lie in your hands and not the hands of your medical doctor. Take life by the horns and if any person tells you that you only have a set amount of time to live then make the most of your life and find yourself a new doctor. No one on this earth knows when our time is up.
