Why you can Beat Cancer Survival Statistics

“Whether you think that you can, or that you can’t, you are usually right”
-Henry Ford-

Cancer is a unique disease and the footprint of that disease changes according to your unique body and your unique environment. No two cases of cancer are exactly equal and that in itself makes a mockery of cancer survival statistics. Cancer survival statistics can be frightening, and at first glance they can induce a sense of panic.

However cancer survival statistics are just that a probability of occurrence there is nothing written in stone about cancer survival statistics. As you are unique you have every chance of bucking the survival statistics. A cancer survival statistic cannot tell you have “X” number of years to live. Have faith that you can beat the odds and you possibly can, conversely have faith that you will die and it increases the risk that that will become a certainty.

The first reaction to cancer is normal it is usually a deep sense of fear and panic, which can be followed by a sense of depression. Those people that follow that pattern are likely to prove a probability of a statistic to be correct.

Panic is normal, but this is the one time in your life that you have to overcome fear. Your destiny is in your hands and only your hands, you can beat the odds, and a belief in the fact that you can buck a statistic is the first step.

Whatever you read or see about cancer survival statistics, whether it is a medical paper, on the television, on the radio, in a newspaper or on the Internet, does not mean that they have to apply to you. It is your body and your cancer and you are in control and the earlier that you exercise that control the better you will be.
