This week on The Thing About Cancer (TTAC) we have Neerja Malik, two times breast cancer survivor explaining how we can exchange our fear of cancer and cancer treatment, for acceptance. The effects of our thoughts on our physical well-being is a much-documented phenomenon. Furthermore, researchers are looking at how our expectations from our treatment might affect our treatment outcomes.
Neerja also stresses on the transitory nature of all treatment. Reminding ourselves that the treatment is temporary and is for our benefit, might ease our mind from unnecessary fears. She also highlights the role of humour in relaxation and in improving mental health. She also has some apt advice for caregivers as well. Allowing our cancer patients to vent their feelings, helps them unburden themselves of the anxiety and stress that is bottled up inside them. Listening patiently, and understanding how they feel, will help us find the right ways of helping them.
