Having cancer is not in the least bit funny, but being able to laugh can be a great asset when dealing with your diagnosis. Laughter reduces stress, minimizes pain, and can help your body heal. Try to make time for laughter by watching a funny show or movie, reading a funny book, or playing games with friends that make you laugh.
Find some kind of humor in your days. Laughter is good for the mind, body and spirit. If you can find at least one thing to laugh about each hour of every day, you are going to benefit from the chemicals it will release in your body and the uplifting it will do for your spirit.
Learn as much as you can about your diagnosis, but stay away from grim medical documentaries and other negative thoughts. It's important to know as much as possible about your cancer, so you can be an active part of your treatment team, but don't allow yourself to get bogged down in the negativity of statistics. Focus on the positive and your health and attitude will both improve.
