Helping other people could be the best therapy for survival

 The following notes came from the book, “Love, Medicine, and Miracle”.  

When Louise then was a teenager was told by her doctor that her metastasis ovary cancer could kill her in 6 months even with chemotherapy, she told her doctor that only God can tell her how long she could live.  She was an exceptional patient.  First, she moved out of the old home and rent an apartment  This way, she could move away from a stressful environment.  With only $10 left, she put an aid in a newspaper that she is willing to help any cancer patient who answered the aid.  Six months later, all her tumors disappear.  

What does this true story tell us?  

1. Do not allow the doctor to tell you how long will you live.    Only God can give us this number.
2. Leave the stressful environment behind.  If you have a toxic relationship while you are sick, don’t get stuck with the old toxic relationship.
3. Willing to help other people while you are still sick is a great therapy.
