Has Being Spiritual Helped You Cope? Posted: 12-01-03 03:48am
Hi everyone, I am currently doing some
research on cancer patients, and in which
aspects spirituality or religion has
helped them through their illness (or if
it has at all) i.E to cope better etc. I
am interested in any views or opinions on
this subject matter in particualr which
aspects has being spiritual or religious
helped and in which aspects it hasn't. I
would be very greatful for any comments.
Thank you

Hi. My mom has lung cancer and it has
spread to her brain and sacrum. She was
diagnosed 2 yrs ago and has gone through
hell. She's had chemo and radiation.
Although she's been told that there's no
hope and nothing more they can do, we
still believe in miracles. People may
think that is foolish or denial but we are
"beliver's" and that's what keeps us
going. God can do miracle's and our faith
has been our only strength. I hope this
helps some what!
