Read this right now if you care enough about your life to discover the 40 vital facts that your doctor won’t have time to tell you…because your time is precious (and maybe even limited)
FACT: no matter how much they care about your success—chances are your doctor has NEVER been forced into a battle with a disease they didn’t chooseAnd what they don’t share CAN make or break your cancer experience — scary considering that their expertise guarantees your life or the dreaded opposite…
You can probably guess that being treated for cancer will be one of the worst experiences of your life… unless you already know what I’m about to reveal…
If you’ve recently been diagnosed with cancer, you probably already realize how terrifying “facing cancer” can be—you are dealing with the crippling horror right now. The day my doctor told me I had cancer is still as clear in my head as if it happened yesterday:
A biopsy of the lymph nodes in my neck was performed, and the lymph nodes were tested in a lab to confirm whether or not I had cancer. I returned to the oncologist’s office that following Monday to get the results of the biopsy. “You do have cancer,” he said. “You have Hodgkin’s lymphoma. But we’re going to fix this – this is a very treatable disease, one that has very effective treatments available.”
I immediately broke into tears. The oncologist went on to explain the options that were available to me and the additional diagnostic procedures they would be performing over the course of the next week. He took notes on everything he told me and gave me a copy, knowing that I was not in the frame of mind to retain much of what he was saying to me.
I walked out of the office with my sunglasses on because I couldn’t stop crying. A million thoughts went through my head on that walk home:
- Am I going to die? How could this happen to ME?
- I’ve always exercised and eaten fairly healthy, I don’t smoke or do drugs, and, yes, I drink a little, but isn’t red wine good for you?
- How am I going to tell my parents and friends that I have cancer?
- And admittedly, why is this happening to me?
