CANCER CAN BE BEATEN !
IN THIS BOOK, YOU WILL HEAR HOW 7 SURVIVORS OF LYMPHOMA BEAT THE
DISEASE, SOME EVEN AT STAGE 4.    Â
EACH STORY TELLS OF THE HEALING STRATEGIES AND INSIGHTS
THESE 7 SURVIVORS USED TO BEAT THE DISEASE. EACH TELLS THEIR OWN
STORY:
“RECOVER FROM LYMPHOMAâ€
Dear Friend,
If you, a loved family member or a friend have been recently
diagnosed with either Non-Hodgkin’s or Hodgkin’s lymphoma, I am
guessing you may already be feeling worried and anxious about the
journey that lies ahead of you.
YOU ARE CERTAINLY NOT ALONE IF THE ‘C’ WORD STRIKES FEAR AND
TERROR INTO YOU….Â
.....and may already have already some of the following concerns and
questions racing through your head:
*
wondering how you will FACE UP TO THE INEVITABLE CHALLENGES of the
unknown journey that lies ahead of you
*
wondering what AFFECT THE ILLNESS WILL HAVE ON YOUR RELATIONSHIP
WITH YOUR LOVED ONES
*
trying to find some EMOTIONAL REASSURANCE AND SOME CERTAINTY about
your future
*
anxious that you will NOT BE ABLE TO FINANCIALLY SUPPORT YOURSELF OR
YOUR FAMILY
*
wondering WILL YOUR RELATIONSHIPS SURVIVE the inevitable strain?
*
and if you will STILL BE ABLE TO WORK AND SUPPORT YOURSELF AND YOUR
FAMILY as you undergo treatment?
*
how will you COPE WITH THE SIDE EFFECTS of the medical treatment?
*
and how will you MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION about which treatment
regime to follow?
*
and wondering what will be your CHANCES OF SURVIVAL?
If you too are feeling anxious and worried as you start this healing
journey, you will be re-assured to know that I HAVE WRITTEN A BOOK
ADDRESSING THE SPECIFIC CONCERNS AND NEEDS OF LYMPHOMA SUFFERERS.
When I started to talk to people about the idea of putting a book
together on lymphoma survivors, I was surprised to find how many
people had been closely affected by the disease
Many said they wished they had known of a book like this when they
were diagnosed, one that could have given hope to them and their
families and friends.
I felt there was definitely a need for a book written with the
specific purpose of helping people newly diagnosed with lymphoma.Â
YOU ARE NOT ALONE
I wrote this book of survivor stories because I wanted to let you
know that you are not alone with your fears and concerns, and that
many others have faced the same challenge you are facing now, and have
survived and recovered their full health.
The 7 people interviewed for this book, all survivors of either
Hodgkin’s or Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, have told their stories, so
others like you might benefit from their experience and become
survivors too.
As a health and wellness psychologist in private practice for over
25 years, I have supported a number of clients diagnosed with
lymphoma, and other life threatening illnesses, to take the journey
back to health.
I have also had several friends diagnosed with lymphoma, and in all
cases have seen first hand, what a challenging journey this can be
for sufferers and their families.
What I have witnessed up close is the overwhelming anxiety, fear and
even terror in some cases experienced on hearing the diagnosis “YOU
HAVE LYMPHOMAâ€.
I have watched as the inevitable side effects of the treatment have
taken their toll, and I have been there for many as they journeyed
through the emotional roller coaster ride, that an illness like this
often entails.
I have also had an opportunity to observe up close which people
diagnosed with lymphoma survived, and which did not.
MANY SURVIVED THE ILLNESS, AND MADE IT BACK TO GOOD HEALTH, AND
SADLY SOME DID NOT.
WHAT I LEARNT ABOUT THOSE WHO SURVIVE
I began to observe my clients more closely and started to see a
pattern emerging. There were indeed certain attitudes, beliefs and
actions that were characteristic of survivors.
Some people seemed to know intuitively what to do to overcome their
illness.
They WERE DOING THINGS DIFFERENTLY ON ALL LEVELS …not only
physically and mentally, but also emotionally and spiritually….
Those who did not survive, by contrast, appeared to become
overwhelmed and immobilised with fear, had a more passive attitude to
their illness, and seemed to be saying “I am waiting for the
doctors to ‘fix’ me’. At some point they lost control of their
healing journey, ‘threw in the towel’, and succumbed to the
disease.
You can find out how survivors think and act when you receive one of

SPECIFIC NEEDS.
They Told Me They Needed:
* Help to address not only the physical, but also the emotional and
spiritual aspects of their healing journey
* SOMEONE TO TALK TO ON A REGULAR BASIS, WHO WOULD LISTEN WITHOUT
JUDGEMENT TO THEIR DEEPEST FEARS AND CONCERNS
* To be able to talk to, or read about others, who had been through
the same experience, and had survived

AND LOTS MORE…….
JUST ONE IDEA IN THIS BOOK COULD MAKE THE DIFFERENCE TO YOU BECOMING
A SURVIVOR!
Even if there is only one idea shared in this book that helps you,
it may be the very one needed to change the direction of your journey
to becoming a survivor, instead of a mortality statistic Â
Of course I hope you will find many ideas to uplift inspire and
encourage you as you read the survivors’ stories.
Many of the survivors not only made it through the difficult
treatments, and the many low moments and experiences along the way, to
come out cured, but also reported they had become happier and
healthier for the experience they had been through.Â
TREATING CANCER REQUIRES A HOLISTIC APPROACH.
You will read how all the survivors approached their illness from
many levels of their lives –
*
SPIRITUAL
*
EMOTIONAL
*
PHYSICAL
*
MENTAL
*
SOCIAL
I think you will find the insights and healing strategies shared in
this book will help allay many of your fears and anxieties, as you
undertake your own healing journey.
Even though all their stories are quite different, and each person
was at a different stage of their disease, you will see that many of
the principles they put into practice to become survivors were
similar.
One survivor told me that the experience of his healing journey was
so important in changing his life for the better, that he felt he
would like to be known now as a ‘thriver’, not just a
‘survivor’. How inspirational is that?
TRADITIONAL VS. ALTERNATIVE TREATMENTS?
You will read how some survivors chose the traditional medical
treatments of chemotherapy, radiation and stem cell transplants, while
others combined those treatments with a number of complementary
treatments to support themselves on the journey.
One survivor even felt it was the right decision for him to give up
the traditional treatments and instead follow a totally alternative
approach.
Two of the survivors tell how they started to get well only when
they began to take an active part in their own healing journey, rather
than wait passively for the doctor or the treatments to cure them.
Another man’s story is found in our FREE GIFT #2 \"BATTLING
LYMPHOMA NATURALLY... AND WINNING\" . In this story he tells why he
rejected the traditional approach to treating lymphoma and how he
researched and found his own cure.
You will learn from the many insights and strategies all the
survivors share just how they took up the challenge to fight and
finally beat the disease, and in so doing were able to continue to
enjoy life with their loved ones for many years afterwards
For those looking to follow an alternative treatment approach to
their illness, there are several alternative cancer healing websites
reviewed and listed in the bibliography.
"A Must Read Book..."
_“I was totally moved and inspired by the warmth, honesty and
courage of the survivor stories in this book._
_Â I have just watched a dear friend diagnosed with lymphoma go
through a very difficult and lonely time, as she negotiated many
emotional and physical ‘ups and downs’ trying to find her way back
to health. I believe a book like this would have made all the
difference to her healing journey._
I think that  “Recover from Lymphoma†is a ‘must read’ for
lymphoma sufferers and their families and friends. It is a very
sensitively and compassionately presented book, full of survivors’
healing wisdom, written specifically to help those diagnosed with
lymphoma make a less lonely and more hopeful journey to recovery.â€
_MARGIE MOORE PHD_
_Highvale,_ _Brisbane_
In sharing their stories, these 7 survivors have told us some very
personal and intimate details about their lives during their healing
journey.
The stories are told honestly and courageously by real people, who
faced the challenges of their illness to survive and who come out the
other side, renewed in body and spirit
I think you will be touched deeply by their honesty, courage and
humour in telling their very personal experiences, and as I did, find
many of their insights and revelations breathtakingly moving.
I believe their willingness to share their stories so generously,
will make a huge contribution towards lessening the fear for people,
when they are first diagnosed with an illness like lymphoma.
The 7 lymphoma survivors who were interviewed for this book
certainly inspired me with their stories of great courage and wisdom.
I am very appreciative of their willingness to share their stories as
they did, in order to help others who find themselves facing a similar
life threatening situation.
The book begins with a short introduction, an overview of the facts
about the disease, written in simple, user friendly language. I have
included answers to those frequently asked questions that clients have
asked me over the years:
"Compelling Book... Couldn't put it down!"
“I have just read this book and could not put it down……. so
compellingly vulnerable were the 7 survivor stories. I believe the
book is going to bring great comfort and hope to lymphoma sufferers
and their families and friends.
The survivors interviewed gave so generously of themselves in
sharing the details of their personal and intimate experiences, I was
very moved by them.
They came across as very courageous people who had taken up the
challenge to get well again, and in so doing had gained an enormous
amount of wisdom about themselves and life in general, as they made
their different journeys back to health. Â Their willingness to share
their survivor insights will, I believe bring great hope to lymphoma
sufferers, helping to make their journeys back to recovery more
optimistic and a lot less lonelyâ€.
Beren Coulthard
Caloundra, Australia HAVE YOU HEARD ENOUGH ?
NOW YOU CAN READ FOR YOURSELF EXTRACTS FROM EACH OF THE 7 SURVIVORS
INTERVIEWED IN THIS BOOK.
1. ROD’S STORY: In 2006 at age 58, Rod was diagnosed with Non
Hodgkin’s lymphoma stage 11. He agrees to proceed with the
traditional treatment of chemotherapy, offered by his physician and
goes ahead and has a round of chemotherapy. However when his tumour
reappears some months later, and he is told he will need more
aggressive form of chemotherapy, and then a stem cell transplant, he
feels he cannot keep following the medical treatment regime.
He makes a decision to follow an alternative cancer treatment
program. While attending this program he gets absolute clarity that he
does not want to have any more chemotherapy. From that time forward,
he started to get well. He finishes his inspirational story in this
way. “I feel healthy now. I have gone 2 years since treatment, I’m
looking and feeling good and my energy is up. I am well. That is how
I feel these days†This is a story packed full of wisdom about his
healing journey.
2. DUANE’S STORY: In 2002, Duane at the age of 20 yrs old is
diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma Stage 1VB from a routine chest X
ray. After considerable chemotherapy and radiation treatment, his
cancer relapses 3 times and he ends up having a stem cell transplant.
As of August 2009, 5 years on Duane is considered cancer free. He
tells about his involvement in the ‘lymphoma community’ and how
writing helped him deal with his emotions, and helped make him a
survivor. He also shares how he had very clear goals and was
determined not to let the ‘c’ word get in the way of those. This
is a wonderful story of survival with many helpful ideas for beating
the disease.
3. MELANIE’S STORY: In 1985, Melanie was diagnosed with
Hodgkin’s lymphoma, Stage 11B, just three weeks before turning 21,
and six weeks prior to her college graduation, and just as she has met
the ‘man of her dreams’. She accepts the radiation treatment that
is offered by her doctor, which reduces her tumour, and she remains in
remission for three years. She becomes pregnant and then finds however
that the lymphoma has returned. This is a devastating situation for
her and potentially for her unborn baby. But Melanie uses the power of
positive imaging to help her come out a survivor. Now some 25 years on
she has lived to see her two boys graduate from college. This is an
amazing story with specific details about how Melanie applied positive
visualisation among other things, to become a survivor.
4. BOB’S STORY: In his mid-forties back in 2001, Bob was diagnosed
with Non Hodgkin’s lymphoma stage 11. He had a two year old daughter
at the time and just made her his reason to get better. He determined
that the cancer was not going to win! Unfortunately the tumour
returned in 2008 and this time Bob made some radical changes to his
lifestyle, and in particular his diet. “I stand firm that you are
what you eat and you become what you think about. It’s equally
important to have a healthy outlook, as it is to maintain a healthy
diet.†He concludes “If I were to have fed on a diet of negative
thoughts, just lying around for the end to come, I might not be here
today. Bob’s inspirational story gives many insights into how he
became a survivor.
5. JOHN’S STORY: John was diagnosed in 1989 with Hodgkin’s
lymphoma Stage 111, when he was 38. Like Rod, he starts his healing
journey relying totally on the conventional chemotherapy treatment
being offered by his doctor. However, after relapsing twice more after
further chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant, and after coming very
close to death’s door, John has the realisation he has to
participate in his healing journey, if he wants to regain his health.
He finds the most amazing blessings have come from the experience he
went through now some 20 years ago. “I now am really enjoying my
life now more than ever. To me the whole experience has delivered a
truck load of gifts…..the superlatives keep rolling.†John, being
a healer himself has been able to offer many beautifully articulated
insights into how to regain your health in the face of a life
threatening illness…a ‘must read’ story full of healing wisdom.
6. PAM’S STORY: After taking over a year to get diagnosed, Pam
finally finds out she has Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, not long after her
50th birthday. It is a relief to at last have a diagnosis. Pam opts
for the conventional medical treatments offered, but supplements these
with a range of other treatments, which helped keep her ‘feeling
good’ and better able to manage the side effects of her treatment.
She describes how the experience has changed her, and how three years
on, she has recovered and is back to her old self and ‘running at
100% again’. This is a very inspiring story, in which someone
bravely faces up to her worst fears, and beats the odds.
7. BRIAN’S STORY: Brian was 37, and married with a small son, when
he was diagnosed with Hodgkin disease stage 1V. He describes how
feeling comfortable with his physician kept him feeling inspired and
optimistic, how his mental attitude was 90% of the battle, and how
having a small son provided him with an over-riding motivation to get
well again
