7. Tell Them Your Fears
Once the facts of the situation are clearly established, let the loved ones in your life know how you are feeling. Let them know what you are experiencing currently, what you have felt in the past, and what you expect to feel in the future. Permit them to see you as a true, vulnerable person.
Trying to convince others (or yourself) that you are not emotionally affected by cancer is never the best option, because it is never true. Allowing others to hear and see your feelings gives them the indication that you are working towards acceptance of your diagnosis. Along the way, it continues with your ability to process your transition in healthy ways.
What you eat and how much food you consume has a direct impact on your risk of cancer according to leading experts of nutritional diet and cancer.
