Prostate Cancer Stress and Laughter

When prostate cancer or its treatment leads to stress, laughter is often the best solution - at least momentarily. Laughter has healing properties that can lessen stress, pain and the severity of your illness. That's true not only of prostate cancer but of all forms of cancer and other illnesses.

I'm convinced that laughter not only heals the body and spirit, but removes bariers between individuals. After all, to cite the late, great comic pianist, Victor Borge, "Laughter is the shortest distance between two people."

The next time illness strikes, remember to laugh. Go out of your way to watch a funny show, tell a joke, and kid around with your nurses and doctors and family members when you can.

Even if you end up laughing through tears, you'll be better off. So will your caregivers and those who truly love you.

Prostate Cancer And Courage - What My Mother Taught Me (A Mother's Day Tribute)

Prostate cancer or heart disease, like aging, is more than a physical problem. To borrow from Mark Twain, It's an issue of mind over matter: If you don't mind, it doesn't matter!

I learned this from my mother, who at age 96 succumbed to heart problems exactly two months ago.

Prostate Cancer Treatment, Faith, and God

Spirituality as an Antidote to a Serious Illness like Prostate Cancer

Any serious illness like prostate cancer, can shake up an individual and his family. But spirituality has a restorative capacity that helps people make it through the worst of times. In my case this applied most recently to my prostate cancer diagnosis and surgery nearly three years ago and subsequent  treatment side effects like ED and a low libido.

Prostate Cancer Surgery and God

Three years ago, I had robotic-assisted surgery for prostate cancer. I knew then that doctors are not the ultimate source of the cure for a disease like mine.
