What does it take to conquer a
disease?
What does it take to conquer a disease? It takes strength and knowledge and
money and time and support and determination.
We never expect an illness or disability to invade
and change our lives. But illness and disabilities are unpredictable many times
and can indeed change everything. It is something that can affect any of us, or
a family member at any given time.
There are two
words that are forefront in my vocabulary these days, Diabetes and Cancer.
Two words, two diseases, two people.
What would you do if you or a family
member were to suddenly be hit with a chronic illness or disability? Where would
you go to find the support and the information that you need? With whom would
you turn for answers?
This
page is dedicated to two very special people in my life. Two people with
strength and determination to conquer the disease that has invaded their life.
So
where do you start?
You read, a lot, everything you can get your hands on about the illness that has
now engulfed your life. And you talk to doctors and nurses and medical providers
and patients and even strangers and before long you know more than you ever
thought you could know. And in the process you learn more about yourself.
Being
Pro-Active with the health issues in your life is the answer.
If you have
ever heard that education open doors, it is true.
There are new
advances in medicine every day and believe it or not your Doctor may not always
know about the “latest and greatest” out there. It’s your health, it’s
your life. Ask questions, talk to people, learn about procedures, therapies and
alternatives.
Take
charge of your health.
Here are some resources I found to be interesting,
informative, and helpful.
