Cancer affects more people than the sufferer alone. Although they bare the brunt of the physical pain, their suffering has a huge affect on friends and family too, which can be very distressing.

In June of 2005 my wife and I had to start learning to live with cancer.

Cancer is no respecter of persons. Wherever you may come from; male or female; however young or old; however genetically disposed: this condition can invade your body.

When first diagnosed, it is a shock to the whole of your system. Immediate questions spring to mind: “Will I die?” Can I be treated? How might my life be irrevocably changed?

As well as the cancer-affected person, there are family and friends who have to live with a new situation. At first, it takes some time to adjust. We found that trying to find out the facts about the particular cancer in our case was very helpful in understanding how it works and what it does. Various tests establish the exact stage of the Continue Reading

A healthy lifestyle encompasses mind, body, and spirit. All three require equal nourishment if you are to achieve optimal health. Neglect one and, no matter how well you feed the others, the body’s balance is thrown off.

The following are suggestions on living a healthy lifestyle. A few small changes may make a huge difference in your life.

Mental health:
