I’ve just got back from the hospital, seeing my dad…..it’s very hard to even begin to be positive, but; but with cancer the very strangest things seem to work. Stuff which I have no understanding of how it could help has been found to help.
So.
The one thing I can actually *do* to help him is to do visualisation. This has been found, by various cancer centres to help people with cancer. I don’t understand how or why. But it’s the one thing I can do.
To explain. What you (or actually I) have to do is to visualise the bodys fight against the cancer. It’s in the bowel, well, the main load is. And what I’m visualising, at my fathers request, is the bowel slowly being clensed of cancer. The body fighting this grey mass which has enveloped so very much of him, and beating it back. Slowly.
Why does this help? I don’t know. Does it help? Well, some people say it does, and frankly I’d do anything right now to keep my father.
If any of you fancy doing some visulisation…..please do….
