No person ever diagnosed with cancer will fell free and happy until they know their diagnosis is under control and managed properly. With that in mind, it is worth considering some factors that will aggravate the present negative emotions; allowed to get out of control, these negative emotions can cause a lot of trouble later [...]
The Pope's impromptu planned visit last week with victims of clergy sexual abuse has been widely reported. In a New York Times report on April 16 entitled, "Abuse Victims Not Placated by Pope", Becky Ianni, a 50-year-old abuse victim said,
“He talks about feeling shame for the scandal but it’s a far cry from the shame that victims have had to live with our entire lives. We don’t really need his sense of shame."
She's right, of course. Yet many news outlets reported all week that the Pope visited with the "survivors", not the "victims." It seems to me that calling the victims "survivors", even though they truly are, softens the terrible act and does more to add to the shame that Ms. Ianni and so many others do note need to endure.Shame on the news media. These indiv

Life assurance is insurance protection purchased in which the insured individual’s death results in payout of benefiting to survivors identified as beneficiaries of the policy. There are several types of life insurance, but the most common is term life insurance or coverage. Term insurance provides for payout of a lump sum upon death of the insured during the specified term of the insurance. Other types of life assurance include mortgage protection. With this type, the insurer pays of the balance of the covered individual’s mortgage in the event death occurs during the covered period and fits within the stated payment parameters. Although more costly to obtain, there are some insurance policies available to individuals struggling with certain illnesses or health situations. Terms of co

Below are two very informative, helpful web casts produced by Sloan-Kettering's Post-Treatment Resource Program for young adult cancer survivors though cancer survivors of all ages will benefit from these as well. For many survivors, the information detailed in the web casts may be known already but they're worth watching, I think, as a helpful reminder of some of the important issues that some of us may have had to deal with already or may face in the future.

One in three children in the UK live below the poverty line.BBC 3's Born Survivors:Growing Up Skint showed us the lives of four of these children.What came across last night was how important social facilities were.For example, Moonisha Parvin's life was brightened up by homework club, which took place in a local church hall, run by teachers who volunteered their time.The local youth club, which only opens once a week due to lack of funds, was important to Matthew from the Possilpark area of Glasgow.More should be done in affluent areas to raise money for social havens in deprived areas.You can donate to Hackeny's Albion Kids Show or the Child Poverty Action Group.Every child should be able to access an after-school facility such as a youth club every day of the week.The Olympics and Child Poverty:The vast sums of public money going into the 2012 Olympics should, in my view, gone towards repairing the social fabric of Britain.I strongly believe that we should never have bid for the
Many of our witnesses come from many countries and cultures. Alike, they testify to young male sexual and other abuses by Sathya Sai Baba, and the cover up by his core leaders in the International Sathya Sai Organization. Many are afraid to speak out.
This is a common feature of sexual abuse survivors, and Sai Baba’s proxy defenders on the Internet and elsewhere make the most of this difficulty. They say there have been no prosecutions of Sai Baba. Yet it often takes years or decades before survivors can come to terms with what happened to them.
Hazards Of Brave Abuse Survivors
Even those few ready to face the public with the facts can often be in no position to litigate. This is because of lack of funds, time, energy, or family or close friends to support them in an intelligent and genuine manner.
In one case (See 1. under Further Resources) which should never have failed, a pro bono lawyer let his client down badly and was not proactive enough to field excellent
One of the ways in which we can support trauma
survivors is to provide a holding environment for them as they recover.
At some point survivors need to make a conscious
decision to heal. Initially, all they can do is suffer or run away from the
feelings elicited by the trauma. Often they feel as if they are being defined by
what has happened to them. The trauma and its aftermath is all-consuming.
Over time, however, the other parts of their
lives begin to clamor for attention, and survivors are in a place to contemplate
moving through the trauma into healing. They can decide whether they’re going to
be defined by their trauma or whether they’re going to allow this to become part
of their history and then create a different definition of who they are. But I
think that takes a conscious choice. Someone has to decide, “I want to learn how
to live again and not just exist.”
A search team hunted on Saturday for survivors or victims of an Indonesian ferry that sank off Sulawesi island this week but it remained unknown how many people were missing, officials said.At least 31 people were killed after passengers climbed to the roof of the 22-metre (-yard) Acita 03 seeking a better cell phone signal as it approached the coast, causing it to capsize on Thursday evening.The wooden boat had been heading from Tomea island to Bau Bau on Buton island, about 1,500 kilometres (930 miles) northeast of Indonesia's capital, Jakarta.Media reports said 125 people were rescued following the accident that occurred just a few miles from Bau Bau.

One of the best ways to support people going
through a traumatic experience is to tune into being in the same space with
them.
We need to work very hard to take out own biases
out the picture and just be willing to listen to where someone is coming from;
not make assumptions about how they are going to be; not project our own stuff
onto them.
We need to just sit with people. One of the most
important gifts we can give someone is the willingness to sit with them in their
pain.
England, Spain, Portugal, Russia, Denmark, Sweden--doesn't sound like the itinerary of a cancer "victim," does it? But Lorna Goldstein, one of the 10 breast cancer survivors whose stories appear here, has been to all those places recently, traveling with her globe-trotting husband just as she did in years past. And, diagnosed with metastatic, recurring breast cancer, followed by unrelated uterine cancer, she has had bouts with cancer three times, twice within six months. "Have cancer, will travel" summarizes her upbeat, can-do attitude. Despite the rigors of testing, biopsies, diagnoses, treatments, pain, medication, surgeries, anxieties, hospital stays, nausea, and more, she enjoys health, energy, and a pain-free life that includes painting and piano playing. Neither Goldstein nor any of the other contributors, whose ages span 25 years and whose stages of cancer range from 0 to 4, minimizes the harsh realities, and all bring admirable strength of spirit to bear on their situation, wh
The very thought of trying to find life insurance for someone who has had prostate cancer would send 98% of life insurance agents screaming into the dark. Most would just tell you, without asking any questions, that you are uninsurable.
About 80% of prostate cancer cases are not only insurable, but insurable at rates that someone with no cancer history would be happy with. If you want to win the prize there are three things that your agent should ask for and you need to be able to provide. If the agent doesn’t ask for these things, get another agent.
1. You need to know what the doctor found when you were diagnosed! Their first indication was probably an elevated PSA ( prostate specific antigen). You need to know what that was at the time of diagnosis. From there they would have done a biopsy. From the biopsy they would have determined a stage and grade of the cancer. The stage would be somewhere between A-D. It could be like A2. The grade, also known as the Gleason score would
Here is a press release issued last week from the Senate office of Chuck Hagel:Hagel Introduces Veterans and Survivors Employment and Training ActMay 3rd, 2007 - WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senators Chuck Hagel (R-NE) and Jack Reed (D-RI) today introduced the “Veterans and Survivors Employment and Training Act of 2007.” This legislation would make school more affordable to veterans, survivors, and dependents pursuing an education in high tech fields. The bill would expand the education programs that are eligible for accelerated payments under the Montgomery GI Bill, and provide the benefit to recipients of the Survivors’ and Dependents Educational Assistance Program (SDEAP).“America’s service men and women make tremendous sacrifices in service to our country. As policymakers, we have an obligation to ensure they have the resources they need to pursue their education. This legislation will make it easier for veterans, and the families of veterans killed or permanently disabled in
Nairobi, May 8 (IANS) Rescue workers have given up all hopes of finding any survivors of the Kenya Airways plane that crashed into a swamp near the Cameroonian capital Douala.
The airliner - bound for Kenyan capital Nairobi from Douala - went down early Saturday in southern Cameroon with 114 people aboard, including 15 Indians.
The wreckage was found 36 hours after the plane vanished from radar screens.
Rescue workers at the site - a mangrove swamp - said there were no signs of any survivors.
On Monday, 40 bodies were pulled out of the wreckage of flight KQ 507. The badly mutilated and decomposing bodies were packed in body bags and taken to the Douala military mortuary to allow families to identify them, the Nation newspaper reported.
A Cameroonian official in charge of recovery efforts said he had surveyed the entire site - covering only a few hundred yards in diameter - and no one had survived.

Czech Cold War survivors on front lineBy Gethin Chamberlain in Trocavec, Czech Republic, Sunday TelegraphLast Updated: 12:25am GMT 18/02/2007They made it through one cold war on the side of the Soviet Union, but now the people of the Czech Republic have been thrust back on to the front line of a new nuclear stand-off - this time on the side of the West.Jan Neoral, mayor of Trocavec, at the former Soviet military base: ‘We are afraid of terrorists’America wants to site the radar base for its new anti-missile defence system, aimed at containing the threat from states such as Iran and North Korea, in an old Soviet-era base less than 40 miles from the Czech capital, Prague.But the hi-tech plan - dubbed "Son of Star Wars" in a nod to Ronald Reagan's original Strategic Defence Initiative - has caused consternation in the neighbouring rural villages, where facilities are so basic that many people have to draw water from the wells outside their homes in buckets.It is not just the prospec
