Cancer Can Be A Defeated Foe

Before you throw up your hands and throw in the towel here is some refreshing information.  The latest research now indicates that there are cures for your condition.  If you are interested, start with the most important person in the health care team.  You immediately want to know who that is...right?  Well, walk over to the nearest mirror and look at the person that's staring back.

First, set some goals. Declare to yourself:

•  I will not be defeated.  I can do all things through my God who gives me strength.

•   I will become an excellent student of my own health. 

•   I will take an active part in my treatment and recovery. 

•   I will not be unhappy, depressed, or  feel sorry for myself.
