i was recently told that my mom may have cancer, and one of my grandmothers has cancer for sure. How would you feel knowing that a family member could be dying from cancer? Do you feel helpless and angry at life?

hi silvermoonmyst, i honestly feel like i must be living in a different reality - in the twilight zone or something - bcause the whole world seems to have gone insane. honest answer - I view a family member being told that they have cancer as an inconvenience - about on a par with someone coming down with glandular fever at worst. means a bit of bother, but nothing insurmountable. in short, cancer is a trivial disease. easily cured. and i speak from experience - repeated experience. trouble is, we are entrenched in a fascist culture where the big-money cartels have worked out how to milk the populations blind, by keeping them in the dark and keeping them sick. which is exactly what tey are doing, and have been doing for a century now. want to get angry - get angry at the big money. they're the ones stopping legitimate and effective treatments for cancer in the usa. need somewhere to look to try to understand what's going on? don't ask you doctor - that's like the chicken asking the fox for directions. do research yourself - look up allopathic medicine and its history. there should be enough there to keep one busy and heading on the path to the hidden truth. if you know any chinese herbalists or similar, try and learn from them. or just do your own research and accumulate the knowledge necessary to live. i can tell you off the top of my head how to cure any problems like cancers. and i'm speaking from experience. but i can also tell you that there are many many people, even here on mylot, who know the truth but don't speak up, because it's simply not worth it. shoot the messengers - people don't want to be saved, they actually want to go through the charade that they have been brainwashed to accept as the norm. i know the stuff that i say goes aganst the grain - how dare i? etc etc... i dare because i know its true - even if most people respond to the truth by turning hostile against the one who tells them. like i said - like living in the twilight zone - big brother or 1984 or something. cancer is a trivial nutritional disease, yet millions of people are dying from it, each and every year. insanity on a global scale.

no no not like that.. we have to show respect to them. we have to make them feel important to us. its all natural occurences. we can do nothing for that. so all we have to do is to be with them as much time as possible..

I've lost a few grandparents to cancer and am currently losing an in-law to cancer. She's kind of adopted me as one of her own and I'm very heartbroken. She has lived a great life, has had lots of kids so she's surrounded by family. I'm just taking lots of pictures of her with my son so I can someday tell him what a great soul she had.

My boyfriends dad recently passed away from complications from having bladder cancer. Rather than choosing to be angry we are blessed that he is no longer suffering and is in a peaceful place, where he wanted to be. I can understand your feelings wholeheartedly and my thoughts are with you during this time. I know its hard to go through, but please stay strong for your mom and grandmother and family.
