Life After Cancer Treatment: Wisdom from a Survivor
Cancer is tough. When I was just four, my mom was diagnosed with it. Doctors gave her less than a year. I recall standing on our car’s roof, crying out to her in the hospital, as she waved from a far-off window.
My mom had six sisters, three of whom passed from cancer. She also had seven brothers, one of whom also succumbed. She's faced countless surgeries and treatments, losing her breasts, ovaries, and uterus. Despite it all, at 22, I'm thrilled to share that my mom is still here, vibrant as ever.
Her secret? She never listened to the doctors. Her goal was clear: watch me grow up.
She defies age with her energy and is an avid skier. I asked her about her survival strategy and was amazed by her common-sense tips, backed by her Biology degree. Here are her insights.
Tips from a Cancer Survivor
Eat Healthy, Natural Food
Avoid pre-packaged and canned foods filled with preservatives. If you're predisposed to cancer, these can be risky. Instead, focus on antioxidants found in fruits and vegetables. Aim to consume them daily, starting your morning with a piece of fruit.For those who dislike plain fruit, blend it with milk or yogurt for a smoothie. Hungry? Choose fruit as a snack while you wait for meals to cook.
Vegetables can be appetizing when prepared differently. Soups with onions and tomatoes can be delightful. Choose healthy oils like olive or soy oil, which are rich in Omega 3 and 6. Understand the benefits of antioxidants and incorporate them into your diet.
Stay Hydrated
Drink water as your main beverage. Replace sodas and juices with water. Begin every day with an apple and a glass of water, and carry a water bottle with you, refilling it throughout the day.Moderate Alcohol Consumption
A small amount of wine can be beneficial due to its antioxidants, but avoid overindulging in alcohol.Prioritize Sleep
Quality sleep is crucial, allowing your body to heal and rejuvenate. Make sure your bed is comfortable and that you sleep well.Embrace Fun
Engage in activities you love. Whether it's socializing, learning a new skill, or exploring nature, find joy in what you do. These pursuits contribute to happiness and well-being.Set Goals
