WHEN CANCER TOC AT YOUR DOOR

      Human beings are compassionate by nature, to me in particular, I am sad to know and see other people going through very difficult stages in their life and if I have the possibility to help I do it without expecting anything in return.

      Today I want to bring you a mental exercise:

      Close your eyes and imagine that you find out that a neighbor, a co-worker, a celebrity of the show of your liking or another person diagnosed with CANCER, is very sad? We usually visit them, give words of encouragement, send messages through social networks; in the end we try to encourage them.

      Now imagine yourself in a doctor's office and the doctor gives you the result of the biopsy stating that cancer knocks at your door, you feel a chill that runs through your body, your mind becomes cloudy, you do not coordinate what you think and the question of always Why me? Nobody is prepared to receive news of such magnitude, cries, then you cry more and then you keep crying. In a few days you become a specialist in the disease of both researching and talking to a variety of doctors, of course, that big and heavy problem is yours and there is no book or person to teach you how to get rid of it.

      In particular, after conducting a series of studies on my son, he was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia type 2, the worst news I have ever been given in my life, there is nothing and no one to comfort you. Cancer is equal to Death.

      I had never been in such an unequal situation, when you find out, the enemy has time to do damage and you must quickly defend yourself and attack now. Become a true warrior, it's your battle and you better go out VICTORIOUS.

      My advice is to follow the instructions of the doctor to the letter and never abandon the treatment, not feel a burden to your family, be courageous, and above all, trust in God. He is never going to put a test on you that you can not beat.

      Unfortunately the efforts and technological advances in this field of medicine has not been very satisfactory and we see daily the people who are still dying of cancer. I humbly recommend that the big pharmaceutical companies, WHO, and scientists in general, join forces, so that sooner rather than later, we can uproot this disease from the world and that people can live and die with dignity.

      

In memory of my Mauricio.
