The Importance Of Stories About Overcoming Cancer

By John McDonald


We all hope that cancer never strikes us. However, every year millions of people confront this in one way or another. The internet has become a community bulletin board for those who need help to get through it. Online stories about overcoming cancer can be informative and comforting. Posted resources may help people find local support, but many also find the virtual experience valuable.

Cancers are serious, and not everyone survives. Many powerful testimonies tell of people who faced fear, pain, sorrow, and death in ways that no one who knew them will forget. The end of their lives might have been premature, but the impact of their character will endure. Stories about them have become national bestsellers and hit movies. Many foundations have been started in memory of loved ones whose family and friends want their lives to be remembered.

Of course, everyone loves tales of triumphant recovery from the dread disease. Believing that one will get better is important when faced with drastic treatment, and knowing that others have been through it all and come out well is inspiring. It is also easier to undergo surgery and bear the side effects of chemo and radiation if you believe you'll get well in the end.

Then there is prayer and divine intervention. Many reports of miraculous healing are actually documented by doctors and nurses. People may have a dire diagnosis and the x-rays to prove it and find the tumors gone before medical treatments start. Miracles happen often in the Bible, and Christians actually have a duty to ask for healing for themselves and others.

Part of the fascination people feel for television evangelists is based on tales of divine intervention. For those who believe, this is something promised and hoped for. All can use the daily support of prayer and expectation. Anything that helps get through the next day, or the next hour, is a good thing at times. It is a fact, too, that people with strong prayer support do better during treatment and recovery.

Those who have survived or who remember losing someone dear to cancer have made walks to raise funds and awareness annual events that attract thousands. Media attention is huge for these events, and people wear pink, display pink ribbons on their cars, and donate millions to research. People share healthy recipes and lifestyle tips, talk about coping with the side effects of therapy, and offer tips for caregivers.

Many stories can be found on the sites of treatment centers. These are like customer reviews and can be informative and helpful. There are many decisions to be made and people should do research before making them. It's also helpful to know what happens during treatment and therapy. Families and caregivers can feel better equipped if they know what to expect.

Hearing the accounts of those who have traveled this difficult path and seen the positives in the situation is truly valuable. People fear the unknown most of all, but these are no longer uncharted waters.
