Cancer and Other Serious Illnesses

Some of us may dread and avoid working on our abuse issues. We may want to ignore them forever. We may want to ignore cancer because we are afraid of facing it or facing the treatment we need, but there may be a sense inside from our inner survivor who has brought us this far, reminding us that ignoring cancer or another serious illness amounts to slow suicide, and this slow suicide may end up being more frightening and more painful than facing treatment for the disease.
