6 Essential Tips to Help You Get Through When Fighting Cancer

September 14, 2020 by Annie

Fighting cancer is scary and can have an effect not only on your physical health but also your mental health. Everyone deals with having cancer differently. There are several things you could do to keep up your mental strength when going through this difficult time. Below you could find six tips to help when you are dealing with cancer.

Hopefully, these tips will help and make this time easier for you. Tell yourself that you are strong, and you can get through this. Look at all the good things in your life, and this will surely pick you up and make you smile.

1. Stay connected to your family and friends.

You may want to be tough, but do it with the support of family and friends. It is not fun to go through tough times alone, and they can make it easier for you. They will not mind that you lean on them, and they will not think you are a burden.

2. Talk about your feelings.

It’s always great to have family and friends, but sometimes you may want to talk to a professional. A cancer specialist or a mental health professional can help. They can help you sort out your feelings and help you deal with them. It also helps to interact with other people going through the same thing. There are group meetings you can attend and share your experience with someone going through the same things. Try not to bottle up your feelings, no matter how tough you are.

3. Take time to focus on yourself.

Focus on self-care at a time when you need it. Even if you are used to taking care of everyone else, you need to take time to take care of you. That may mean just taking time to yourself or doing yoga, doing a craft, or even as simple as drifting around in a pool. All that matters at this time is that you take time for you.

4. Eat a balanced diet.

One of the best things for your physical health is to eat right. Not only does it make a big difference in your physical health, but also your mental health. Food can be comforting, so if you need some comfort food, ask a family member to make your favourite meal. They would be happier to do something for you that will bring you joy.

5. Staying active has benefits, both mentally and physically.

When you are going through treatments, it can cause fatigue, and being active can counteract the effects. Being active has been known to help with depression, which is one of the big problems people face while going through cancer. Being active makes you feel better and will keep you feeling mentally and physically stronger.

6. Believe in your faith.

Go to church and be with like-minded people. Believe that God only wants the best for you and will keep you safe. No matter what your faith is, rely on it to keep you upbeat and positive. Read from the bible and keep God close to your heart, and you can’t go wrong. He will help you through it.

Remember, it is okay not to be positive every single day. We all have bad days, so don’t think you have to put up a front. Don’t be afraid to let people see you at your worst. They won’t mind. The most important thing is to love yourself and take good care of your health. It only matters that you win this battle. Keep telling yourself that you will beat down this disease.

About Me

Hi! I'm Annie and I have 3 kids (all in their teens - yikes!). My mommy blog isn't all about lunches and DIY - it's also about humour. Like how my kids make fun of my texts as if I don't know how to use emojis (I DO!). Now that I have a bit more time - since my kids don't want to hang out with me (teenagers), I have taken up blogging.
