One evening a Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people … "My son, the battle is between 2 wolves inside of us all. One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith." … The grandson …then asked his grandfather: "Which wolf wins?" The Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

Cancer.ext.com’s philosophy is like the Cherokee grandfather’s words to his grandson ... we choose the path we take in life, in battle, and what we choose, you and I, is to follow a lighted path of understanding through education and knowledge, compassion and empathy, truth and reality, determination and faith.

Education and knowledge are the cornerstones of learning to understand the treachery that invades our body, our mind, and our emotions when you or I, a loved one or friend, is taken hostage by cancer. With the relevant resources and multi-faceted information available at www.Cancer.ext.com , we all become more educated about potential symptoms, the impact and implications of hereditary cancer strains, advancements in preventative care, life-style, the benefits of diet and nutrition and physically taking care of our bodies with exercise, traditional methods of treatment – long standing ones and/or the most current and cutting edge ones (even experimental possibilities) together with holistic approaches to treatment. Equally vital is how each one of us – under such circumstances - confronts the enormity of change in one’s life force which surrounds and infuses a cancer patient and his or her family (and friends). Every aspect of change is explained and comforted with the life-line of support which Cancer.ext.com shares with each individual and family who look to us for guidance and direction and ways to begin healing the body, the mind, and the senses.

Cancer.ext.com’s mission also entails teaching cancer patients and their families the importance of and effects of accepting the siege they have been laden with, and helping them learn how to best out-maneuver a disease that attacks randomly and viciously. The power of our minds and hearts can have an incredible bearing in our lives, and can help quantify and qualify each day in every life. Cancer.ext.com is an instrument through which and by which anyone, everyone, can gain access to a myriad of support networks that will bring them in touch with survivors as well as those who have lost loved ones so that they can learn that we have a choice to empower ourselves towards a quality of life which invites strength, belief and positive thinking, and the determination to fight, to survive, and to embrace life every day. Our goal is correspondent to that of the Fox Chase Cancer Center which "is to reduce the burden of human cancer through basic, clinical and prevention research; detection and treatment of cancer; and community outreach programs." And, it is through their work and an adjacent study they conducted that Fox Chase maintains that the "quality of life emerged as the most significant predictor of overall patient survival."

Combating cancer is an overwhelming and arduous fight. It is one that has to be met and can, many times, be overcome. Cancer.ext.com collaborated on a 15-step guide, the Cancer Mission Adaptive Plan (MAP), to follow. It is a progressive guide – a ladder if you will – to lead a patient on a journey of how to best achieve complete recovery.

Cancer.ext.com is a font of available information: cancer-specific or cancer in general; on-going research at home and/or abroad; traditional treatments, new treatments, experimental treatments, each one a comprehensive approach to survival; each one a viable strategy to cope with and fight the disease; each one an opportunity for a patient and family to retrieve control of their lives and live a quality of life that aspires to the warmth of each day’s rising sun and the sparkle in each evening’s star-lit sky.
