Pancreatic cancer is considered one of the hardest cancers to
cure. Patrick Swayze is probably one of the most famous
people to die of this disease in recent times but there are many
unsung heroes and heroines who have been taken the same way.
My mother died from pancreatic cancer in 2000 so I thought I
would share some quick questions and answers and some suggestions
for those of you who have either been diagnosed with pancreatic
cancer or a loved one has been afflicted with the disease.
Q What is the pancreas?
A The pancreas is an organ in the body located below the
stomach that produces hormones including insulin in the body to
aid with digestion. Insulin controls your body's sugar
levels.
Q What is cancer?
A Abnormal cells that grow and destroy healthy body
tissue.
Q What causes pancreatic cancer?
A Scientists are unsure but believe smoking can
significantly increase your chances of pancreatic cancer.
Q What are symptoms of pancreatic cancer?
A Nausea, loss of appetite, weight loss, dizzy spells and
general weakness.
Q How can you diagnose pancreatic cancer?
A Blood and stool tests and xrays after drinking barium
solution.
Q How do you treat pancreatic cancer?
A Surgery, radiation treatment and chemotherapy.
Q What are the side effects for treatment of pancreatic
cancer?
A Surgery requires recovery time. Radiation
treatment can cause redness of the skin, nausea tiredness
and weakness. Chemotherapy can cause tiredness, weakness,
nausea and often hair loss.
Q What is the prognosis for pancreatic cancer?
A Currently the prognosis is very poor unless caught in
the very early stages. Scientists are actively seeking
solutions to improve the survival rate for pancreatic cancer.
All sounds pretty grim, doesn't it? If you personally have
this cancer, don’t give up. A small percentage of people do
beat this disease. For the best chance to be one of those
people, here are ten suggestions to help you become
cancer
free.
- Stay upbeat and positive and believe you can win this
battle. Watch sit-coms, go to comedy shows and share
jokes with your family and friends are good ways to go.
Laugh as often as you can. As the old adage goes,
“Laughter is the best medicine.”
-
Meditate by imagining a white light is
permeating your body in the area of your cancer and
energising your immune system to fight it. Doing ten
minutes a day of this lying on a sun chair outside with the
sun on your face will help with this meditation. You
can also imagine little white knights fighting and defeating
little black knights. It’s up to your imagination which
way you go.
- Give up smoking if you are a smoker - this is
mandatory. Your body needs only good things right now.
- Some schools of thought believe that by fasting and living
on vegetable juice will starve the cancer. If you can do
this (and it might be easier than you think if you lose your
appetite) then go for it – at least you are getting some easy
to digest goodness in your body. Regardless eat healthy
and cut out processed sugars and processed food in general.
- Constantly tell the people you care about in your life how
much they mean to you and how much you love them. Helping
the people around you and loving them will help them cope with
your disease as sometimes it is those people who aren’t
afflicted who suffer more.
- Make sure all your affairs are in order and the ones you
love know where all the important papers are just in case they
need them – we hope they don’t.
- Take the opportunity for a spring clean giving away or
throwing out unnecessary items that are cluttering up your
home. Getting organised can be a great distraction and is
another form of cleansing.
- Pamper yourself in any way you can. Get massages,
facials, spa treatments – anything that makes you feel relaxed
and happy. You can also use this time doing the
meditation therapy mentioned earlier.
- Tale up a new hobby, something you always meant to do but
never got round to as a means of distraction during this trying
time. Keeping busy doing something you enjoy will keep
you feeling happy and positive.
- Get counselling for yourself and your family if you feel
you or your loved ones aren’t coping.
In conclusion, the best thing you can do for yourself is to
live your life to the fullest and enjoy each day like it’s your
last. Don’t waste a precious second feeling sorry for
yourself and focus on making yourself and others around you as
happy as possible.
Fight the good fight and who knows – you could very possibly win.
God bless and take care.

Article marketing means submitting articles to article directories
and is one of the best ways to drive traffic to your web site or
blog. An
article spinner is an excellent tool to turn
one article into hundreds of different articles by replacing words
with synonyms (appropriate words with the same meaning), changing
the sentences to say the same thing in a different way and even
replacing paragraphs with those same sentences repeated in a
different order. Those paragraphs can also be placed in a different
order, providing the content continues to flow and is easily
understood.
That said, it does take a little effort on your part to ensure all
words chosen make sense. Please read my 8 steps on how to spin
articles effectively below. This gives an overview of what
you need to be careful about when you spin articles. It is an art
but an easy one to master. You just need to care about the
enjoyment of your readers.
- Make sure you get an article spinning program for your
article marketing that you can own outright and have on your
computer so you have the ability to mould it to your writing
style and add your own personal synonyms. This also avoids yearly
fees and any problems associated with internet downtime that is
possible with online spinners. I recommend Magic Article Rewriter as it is the only one I
have found so far that fits this criteria.
- The article you want to spin must be interesting, original
and written in your own style. The only way of being completely
sure of that is to write it yourself. If you must pay someone to
do it, make sure you own all the copyright. This article needs to
be created in a document that is saved outside the program. You
will always want to have the original somewhere in case things go
haywire with your spinner and you want to start again. Do not
under any circumstances create your original article in the
spinner program.
- So now you are ready to start spinning. Before you start
replacing every word or phrase you can, I suggest you select
headings, sentences and even paragraphs if you like and rewrite
several versions of each. This will give you a better spin later
on. You can spin your article at any time to see how these
different headings, sentences and paragraphs flow together.
- Once you have completed step 3 and are happy with your spins,
you are now ready to utilise the program’s synonyms and carefully
select all that are perfect replacement for the words and phrases
in your article. A good spinner will allow you to create your own
to add to the synonym database. I suggest doing this whenever
possible. You want the program to adopt your personal writing
style which will help increase your article spinning speed as
time goes on.
- Some article spinners come with a feature which will
automatically replace some of the words and phrases in your
entire document with a variety of synonyms at the click of a
mouse. If you choose to use this tool, you need to be wary as not
all synonyms will be appropriate. Although applying this process
can seem to save you a lot of time, personally I think it is more
trouble than it’s worth. It tends to cause an unnatural, stilted
spin and by the time you try to fix all the incorrectly applied
synonyms (and you always seem to miss one), the time it is
supposed to save you is lost. I believe this lazy feature is the
number one reason for badly spun articles.
- Once you are happy with your spinning efforts, it’s time to
spin, spin and spin again and carefully read all versions (I
recommend at least ten). Remember if you find any that are
stilted and strange, you can be assured others will as well so
adjust your synonyms where necessary. You need to ensure each and
every version you spin flows along nicely for a comfortable read.
Remember to always care about the enjoyment of your readers.
- Never ever send two versions of your spun article to the same
article directory. Each directory with the appropriate category
gets ONE version of your spun article and that’s it. Again, think
of your readers. Reading a similar article in another directory
if you happen to come across it is one thing but finding one in
the same directory is completely unacceptable. If you get lazy
and try this on, your second version of this article will
probably be rejected anyway and it may even cause your first one
to be removed. Even worse, you may get blacklisted. You never
know. Don’t mess with the article directories!
- Submit either manually your best spun versions of your
article one by one to your favourite article directories or to
multiple with an article submitter program - I suggest
Magic Article Submitter that has built
in spin features compatible with your spinner program.

Submitting articles to article directories is one of the best
ways to drive traffic to your web site or blog. You could send
your one original article to hundreds of article directories but
the search engines aren’t a great fan of duplicate content and
you may be seen by them as a spammer and therefore may not be
indexed. Article directories also value unique content so are
unlikely to be thrilled if they come across an exact version of
the article you have just submitted to them on a bunch of other
article directories.
This is where an article spinner can be a brilliant tool which
can turn your original article into hundreds of unique versions
thus appeasing the little search engine robots, boosting your web
rankings with different keywords on your subject and giving each
article directory a uniquely worded article.
Deciding the best article spinner software isn’t an easy task. I
experimented with some freebies but they just didn’t do the
job.
One I came across in my Googling efforts offered a seven day
trial for $7. It sounded good but there was a catch – there was a
$77 a year annual fee. Who wants to cough up $77 every year? I
know I didn’t. It also seemed you didn’t own the software as it
appeared to be done online. There was no mention of an article
submitter tool to go with it which meant to me manual and
individual submissions of your spun articles to all the
directories. That seemed a lot of hard work. It wasn’t the
answer.
After much painstaking research, I found the article spinner and
submitter package for me. It is called
Magic Article Rewriter. The beauty of this product
is you get to own this software for a once off cost. None of this
rent a program so we own you forever stuff. It is easy to use
giving full control of how you spin your articles and it offers
countless synonyms to all the words in your articles. You can
also add your own and train the program to your own personal
writing style. Check out the
demo video on the information page showing you how
easy it is to spin your articles. You just need to scroll down
the info page a bit until you find the video.
What’s great about this software is that it comes paired with a
Magical Article Submitter program. Once you
set up a profile, this amazing program subscribes you to hundreds
of article directories at the click of a mouse button. It then
does the activation process for you. I watched it do it for me
and I was in awe of the thing. Hundreds of emails came into the
inbox of the email account I set up for it. The next thing I
know, one by one they go from unread to read emails as the
program opens each and every one and clicks the activation link
for me. It is so clever and what a timesaver! Imagine doing that
manually.
Next this software allows you to put the spun text into the
submitter, choose the categories to which you would like to
submit your article and then with a few clicks, your individually
spun articles are on their way to the appropriate directories.
Again there is a
demo video of this process. Just scroll down the
info page.
Sounds like it would be expensive, right? Wrong! Both these
fabulous tools are available for the once off bargain price of
only $80. That’s right, currently you can get both of them in a
package deal for $80! That's it - no extra hidden fees and it's
backed by a 100% money back guarantee. Courtesy upgrades are
included and the creator is throwing in a bunch of free ebooks as
well.
The creator of this software is very helpful if you have any
problems. I had a couple of questions and they were answered
promptly. I find it fun and easy to use.
You are also given the option to buy an extra tool for the
program called Magic Tokens. This software automatically applies
synonyms to your whole document in one click which is supposed to
save you time. Personally (and the creator will hate me for
saying this - "Sorry Alexandr") I recommend you save your money
as I think it is more trouble than it was worth as I found a lot
of the synonyms automatically applied were not appropriate. By
the time you fix all the inappropriate synonyms, the time it is
supposed to save you is lost. You are welcome to try it if you
must as it is backed by a 90 day money back guarantee. It's up to
you.
Personally I prefer to spin the articles myself applying each and
every synonym. This may take a little longer but the end result
makes it worth the effort. Remember, if you are using your
articles to lead people back to your web sites, your reputation
is on the line so providing quality articles is mandatory if you
want the article directories to take you seriously and publish
what you have written. A badly spun article stands out as stilted
and an uncomfortable read. It just has that "not quite right"
feel about it. If you find it uncomfortable to read then you can
be assured your readers will feel the same and will therefore be
unlikely to visit your web site from the link you provide if they
even bother to finish reading your article in the first place.
