Laughter is the best medicine.

I had seen many of my clients suffering from cancer. Those who were weak minded seldom survived. Cancer is a scary word. Once they were diagnosed with it, the fear might even kill them and not the sickness. From my own personal experience and observation, those who were strong in mind had a better chance to recover. Most important is their belief that they could overcome this illness plus the confidence in their medical treatment. Science has proven that our brain has a natural chemical, called Endogenous Opioids which could self heal our body. It would only be released if the belief is there. To believe the medical treatment is effective and to have the confidence that you could overcome the sickness.

One good example I like to share here. Madam Loo is my daughter-in-law's mother, who suffered from breast cancer four years ago at the age of sweet sixties then. She removed her left breast reluctantly and later went for her chemo treatments. The cancer spread up to her throat and further chemo were needed. Though under heavy drugs and medication, she wasn't afraid to go through the painful process. Being playful and cheeky in nature, she could still make fun and laughter whenever we visited her. Our three grand children are her best friends who always stayed by her. She played along with them as children and laughing all the time without bothering how others looked at her. She loves to see me as well because I created more jokes and fun for her, as I am also another playful young old man.

Today Madam Loo is a healthy and cheerful lady who walks tall to see many other cancer patients in Singapore. She is a living legend for the sick. Her advices are to be happy, have the drive to live, believe in your personal strength and laugh as much as possible. I certainly agreed with her...cancer might not kill but fear yes.
