Mind/Emotion/Body connection

Hi, folks. I haven't been on this site for quite awhile, as I was (justly or not) put off by so much negative reaction to the concept that there is, science based truth that there is indeed a mind/heart (emotion)/body connection. And that we are not powerless or have no control over our diagnosis other than what blood counts say or what Pharma treatment our oncologists dictate.

We are NOT our diagnosis, we are individuals whose illnesses are individual and react differently.

I refuse to be categorized. I have yet to meet an oncologist who even asks how I feel, what I have been doing to maximize my immune system. Most current allopathic medicine seems more concerned with killing the cancer, at whatever damage to our body systems, rather than focusing on healing the body to fight the cancer. Well, that's pretty much how they were trained.

I would use a Naturopathic oncologist if I could find one in my area, but there are none. So I have to rely upon my research and common sense.

So far I've been very fortunate that, as far as we know, the cancer is still stage one after about 5 years and appears to be remaining in below diaphragm lymph nodes. In the last 3 years none of the doctors has suggested more CT scans, saying the size of the nodes fluctuates.

Anybody out there have any similar experiences or feelings? If you hate what I say and think Pharma treatments is the only way to go, I don't want to hear from you. There is enough negative narrative.

Thanks for listening.
