Spirtual & Emotional Impact of Testicular Cancer

Posted by aelling

Looking back now 21 months after being diagnosed with TC, I have wanted to write a little on how TC has affected both my spirituality and emotional connection with others. I would have to say that both of these aspects in my life have changed because of cancer. I wouldn't say that cancer has changed me for the better or given me any great insight into life's issues. Cancer, however, has given me the ability to truly focus on what is important to me and what is not, which in turn has greatly empowered me in my life and decision making.

Spirituality, it has allowed me to see more clearly the compassion and love the Jesus meant for us to show each other. I try to practice this love everyday treating everyone with dignity and respect, despite their faults and misgivings.
