Fighting Cancer,
what I wish I learned sooner.
(not in any specific order)

**Read Richard Bloch�s book �Fighting Cancer�. (http://www.blochcancer.org/)

**Read or listen to the tape �Love, Meditation, and Miracles�,
by Bernie S. Siegel, M.D.
Siegel is an icon in the cancer fighting community.

**Become an expert of your disease. Don�t expect your Doctor to, because he doesn�t have it.

**Have a positive and fighting mental attitude.

**If you need surgery, use only a cancer surgeon experienced with your disease.

**If you have surgery, make sure you have the pathology reviewed by an independent source.

**Get 2nd, 3rd, 4th opinions on your condition and treatment options.

**Find an oncologist you have confidence in, who has a positive attitude, and will give you all the time you need.

**If you think you need to see a doctor sooner than they can schedule you (three weeks is typical) don�t accept the delay. Have another doctor call and schedule a sooner appointment for you. Also, try to anticipate and schedule an appointment you might need. You can always cancel it later.

**Research and consider clinical trials. (http://cancertrials.nci.nih.gov/index.html)

**Seek out cancer support groups and cancer resources such as Bloch and the Wellness Community. (http://www.wellness-community.org/)

**Consider immune therapy by relaxation and visualization. (The tape �Super Immunity�, by Paul Pearsall is very good.

**Prayer helps, a lot.
