A cancer diagnosis knocks you flat and before you can get up off the floor, you are swamped
by a tsunami of strange medical lingo, perpetual appointments, costly medications, dreadful
treatments, possible surgery and an uncertain future. Everything moves along too fast to
afford you the luxury of finding your emotional balance.
Just a simple statement from your doctor instantly topples everything familiar and
comfortable. Your home, your relationships, your job and your future all change in an instant
and will never again be quite the same.
Unfortunately, you simply cannot afford a delay between the cancer diagnosis and the
treatment. The sooner you schedule chemotherapy, radiation and/or surgery the better.
Unfortunately, your cancer has no sense of fair play and will not wait for you to get your
bearings.
So you are suddenly forced to make incredibly important decisions, to re-organize your
schedule and to fight the battle of your life while you are still emotionally, intellectually
and physically off-center.
This is the worst possible time for you to lose your best, strongest and most stable inner
self. So, it is essential that you find a way to center yourself quickly in spite of the
turmoil in your life and to remember your former strong, confident, clear-thinking self.
