A man's cancer journey with William Laird

Dr. Jeanette welcomes William Laird, author of Not Me Cancer, to share his personal journey with cancer over the years.William has had to fight his whole life for the life he has now. He never once gave up, gave in, or settled to anything less than the right to breathing in another day, helping his loved ones and being of service to support others on their journey. Cancer did not stop him, it was another lesson to be had, in his experience.What happens when your body says 'I just can't make it another moment'? Are you asking for help, laying down and letting it pass, or denying it's existence and pushing on? What was the outcome of the symptoms that had you hitting the wall and taking you to your knees? Now what do you do?He has lived by the mantra 'today is a gift' and that is what is getting him through each day, even in the face of pain, medical procedures, or having to say no to a request for his physical assistance. Are you afraid to speak out about how hard it was in cancer or perhaps look at your story as not really something that needed to be shared? William is using his story to tell others what he faced every day. He was very frank in his words and met the grave hits to his body from a very early age; he knows how to fight through things. What to do when you hear the words cancer; what goes through your mind about what you missed, how you will go on, and what toll this will take on your loved ones who depend on your presence?For more information on William and his work visit: www.NotMeCancer.comFor additional support from Dr. Jeanette visit: www.DrJeanetteGallagher.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/wellness-radio-with-dr-j--4618136/support.
