Question: My uncle has cancer!. Does anyone have suggestions on how to cope with it!?
Answers:
I am not exactly sure what you mean !. !. how do you cope with it or how will your uncle!? People do not needs to be done !. !. if you need to cope than you cope !. !.you have no choice!. This is your uncles burden, not yours!. The only thing expected from you would be your support, send him a funny card or call him !. !. treat him as normally as possible!. You will cope just fine!. One thing that people who have cancer dislike is having anyone make a fuss over their disease or their situation!. Treat him the same way you have always treated him!.

Best to you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It really depends on the kind of person you are!. My nana died of lung cancer at the age of 80 on the morning of my 16trh birthday!. Talk about a downer!. We'd known of the ailment for about 4 months, but her digression was one of the worst things in the world to watch!. For me, just visiting her, and spending time with her, even when she couldn't speak, was enough--just letting her know I was there!. The weird thing was, the stress really lifted off after her death!. She and I were very, very close, but I think I was relieved by her passing because I knew [however corny this sounds] that she was in a better place, and that she was as young and healthy as ever--without a care in the world anymore!. She wasn't suffering, and she was with her father [whom she loved to pieces], and the rest of her family!. She was alright, and we were alright!. She lived a long life, and we'd never forget her!.
Dealing with it up until that point was touch and go!. There were days when I just couldn't take it!. The sad part was, it was a waiting game!.

My best advice, is if you believe in Heaven, or a god, keep your faith, for your uncle, and for what you believe in!. Try to make their time the best they've had!. Don't hold your feelings back!. If you've never been really close, make an effort to let them know you care about them, to spend time with them!. If you are really close, make it your mission!.
Hopefully his cancer has been caught early enough that they can treat it successfuly!. Never give up hope on that if it is still a possibility!. And if it comes to an end in which it's not, don't let it douse your light!. Death is inevitable, but life should be enjoyed!. Help him, and your family, to help yourself!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

My mom passed away from cancer a couple of years ago!. The best advice is to go and see him as often as possible and tell him how much he means to you!. I would suggest you think of something he did for you or some memory you had with him that was especially meaningful and tell him what it meant to you!. Shortly before they die people sometimes look back on their lives and and wonder what purpose they served!. It might help him to know he was important in some people's lives!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

My Grandfather had cancer (may he rest in peace), Their is no real way to cope it, it just seems so surreal!.!.!.!. What helped though, was to understand what kind of cancer he had, and to make him happy and spend as much time with him and my grandma so he knew he was loved and well supported through his battle, i cried alot when he had it and i never really came to terms with it, and i still havent !.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Don't take it all in at once!. Relax and breathe if you panic, have some tea!. If you feel the need, you could talk with a counselor, or a really close friend!. It really helps to confide in someone rather than bottle it all up because it builds up stress!. Definitely visit your uncle, try not to cry too much when you do because you don't want to make him feel bad for worrying you or anything!. Best of luck to you; your uncle is in my prayers!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

well there is nothing you can like do to stop the cancer!.
pray for him every night though!.!.!.praying every night always gets me through tough situations!.
and also, always try to like visit him in the hospital!.!.!.cause it may KILL you to think about it!.!.!.!.but you never know what will happen tomorrow!.
and i will pray for you and your family tonight!.
i am the type of person who may NEVER know somebody!.!.but will pray for them when i think there is a prayer that needs to be said for them!.
may sound cheesy but that's the kind of religious girl i am! lol
God bless your family(: Www@Answer-Health@Com

Try to stay positive, learn about the disease, talk about how you feel with your mum or someone else close to you, try to keep involved with stuff you enjoy doing to take your mind off things for a while!. At the end of it all you'll still think back and wonder how you ever managed to cope, it will just all seem a blur!. My thoughts are with you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

one day at a time!. you didnt give details!. how long does he have to live is it terminal!? how old is he, although it hurts to lose people you love at any age!. I have lost old and young people to death!. very sad and I still cry my eyes out sometimes!. I am so sorry about your uncle!. all you can do is try to make him comfortable and your family members too!. love him and your family!. allow people to comfort you and you try your best to comfort them!. again I feel for you I will pray too!. lots of love your way!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I've lost enough people in my life that this question makes me feel annoyed!.

Who cares how YOU cope with it!. Maybe you could just try being nice to your UNCLE since he's still alive!.

Sorry!.!.!. I got pissed at my Grandma's funeral!. All those people crying who weren't there until she died!. They made short work of her belongings and left!.!.!. what a bunch of spoiled brats!

At least she's resting and doesn't have to deal with any of them anymore!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i'm not a doctor!. so i don't know for sure what to tell you!. all i know, is that if the cancer is incurable, then enjoy all the possible time you can with your uncle!. and just know that you always love him, and he always will love you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Be there to listen and give love!. Too often, loved ones find it painful to talk about serious illnesses, when the person ill needs to be able to turn to someone!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

How YOUR coping with it, more like how HE'S coping with it!. Try a bit of empathy and imagine yourself in his shoes and what would be helpful for him!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
