 2018 October marks the breast cancer awareness month, and there is no better time to note that breast cancer has become one of the most common malignancies found among American women. Surveys state that one out of every eight women in the US is diagnosed with this malignancy, and that breast cancer victims make 30% of all diagnosed cancer patients. Even amidst this saddening data, there is a ray of hope for those who are battling with this malignancy: if identified in early stages, and if treated in an effective manner, it is possible to win the battle, and successfully make it back to happy living.

 How to Cope with Breast Cancer: The Primary Steps

There are several primary steps that you can take in order to identify the chances of breast cancer at the earliest, and take clinical measures to prevent it or cope with it:
  • Examine your breasts by yourself from time to time in order to check for abnormalities like lumps, disfigurations, blood-like secretions and disproportionate growth.
  • Once you are around 30 years of age, get mammograms and other clinical check-ups on a regular basis to discover potential malignancy.
  • If diagnosed with malignancy, or a possible chance of developing cancer, regularly consult an oncologist and stick to medications.
  • Make healthy diet choices by consulting a clinically qualified dietician.
  • Keep your biological cycles as close to the one prescribed by doctors as possible: these include diet, sleep cycle, physical chores, rest and other activities.
 Martial Arts Power: Healing Your Mind and Body
Malignancy can never be totally and irrevocably cured by an additional healing system. However, choosing a system like martial arts can do miracles to your mind and body, especially if you are coping with breast cancer. It can help cancer patients in general and specific ways:
  • Diagnosis and treatment of cancer can tax your physical and mental energy in a huge way. Martial arts in general can help to instill confidence and power of will in cancer patients. Cancer survivors who learnt martial arts often testify this.
  • It can also help with some after-effects of cancer treatment, such as stress, depression and anxiety. Martial arts can raise the spirits and instill positive energy in the learners. Some recent studies, like the one conducted by MD Anderson Cancer Research Center (University of Fudan) noted that martial arts can improve sleeplessness, fatigue, stress and depression. This is seen to be the most effective, when regular martial arts is coupled with alternate practices like meditation, mind healing and energy healing.
  • A most foundational study by Linda Carson at the University of Calgary noted that certain martial arts like Tai Chi can bring about changes in cancer patients at the cellular level. If this can be perfected, Tai Chi and similar martial arts could possibly be conceived as alternate treatment systems in a near future.
 Attempting to heal your mind and body and to cope with cancer through martial arts becomes all the more effective in a professional institution that teaches you quality martial arts. Bruce McCorry’s Academy (Peabody, MA) is a place you should try, as the unique combination of Tai Chi and energy healing consultancy at Bruce McCorry’s could be your key to transforming life. 

Be aware and make others aware of the right way to approach cancer this October.
