Ask Him for Courage With Cancer

You should not take offense, but concentrate on the time that you have had with this person. I suggest you think before you send a request. Are you sending the request for a genuine reason?

Or do you just want to see what happens in the life of someone with cancer? My suggestion is that you send a message to them and leave it up to them to add you. No one wants to feel like a performing animal in a circus! Did your parents not use sunscreen when you were young?

Never blame the person, or their family, for having caused their cancer! This one can come down to ignorance and lack of knowledge of melanoma — Melanoma is not only a result of sun damage, but can be due to a genetic pre-disposition. But you can use a bit of tact. Asking this question in a different way would be a lot less troublesome. However, when this statement comes with the person doubting whether you are actually sick, it completely changes meaning. No one wants to feel that people doubt the seriousness of their illness.

I feel very lucky that I am on a treatment that has limited side effects and that my metastasis are only causing pain and are not hindering the function of any of my organs. But, it is really difficult to feel the need to justify what is happening in your body, and that you indeed have stage 4 melanoma. You are so brave, how do you do it? Instead of making it a patronising question, you could send a text and tell the person that they are doing really well and that they are so brave.

Your doctors are liars — I received a letter a few months ago where somebody with no qualifications relevant to cancer had spent a whole page explaining why my doctors are liars. You want to have complete trust in your doctor or you will spend your days questioning your treatment.

It is your job as a support person not to question this trust. I know how to cure your cancer! I have so many people offer their advice on how I can cure my cancer — Go to Mexico! Go and see this woman who cured her own cancer!

People mean well by sharing their knowledge and what they have heard along the grapevine, but this kind of advice should only be given when welcomed. Here are some examples:. You are so young! I've been on the other side of your story so I can't really relate but one thing is for sure.

You should be happy and you shouldn't stay in a relationship if you didn't love the other person even if he has cancer. He wouldn't want that himself. You should be with someone because you trully love him and you are happy with him and not out of pity as Max told you. Be honest with yourself and him.

I asked them all to stand strong for me. I truly believe this is my purpose, to touch hearts with positive love. While we are talking, she pulls a gorgeous bright pink T-shirt from her bag which proclaims: Fighting with strong Faith and Positive attitude is the only option!!

Out from her bag comes a black T-shirt with another line: My beauty is beyond what is on the outside. I insisted that it was not going to be so awful.



I was only going to push that much harder. At the Cancer Institute, she shares her warrior mentality anywhere and with anyone who may need it. The lobby is not off limits. She met a fellow cancer patient in the reception area. Though surrounded by family this patient was not coping well emotionally.

I keep my promises. She was not alone in this battle. We are invincible warriors together. Last Christmas season, Fierro even dressed as Mrs.

Claus and accompanied by Danny, family and friends, joyfully delivered toys to pediatric cancer patients at the Cancer Institute — toys which were purchased with funds raised by her supporters. Fierro was born in Mexico City and came to the U. When she developed pneumonia, her mother and 8-year-old-brother Lenin joined her.
