Forgiveness

Hello everyone,

I am here again. Hoping this blog will be a help to someone out there. I wanted to talk about forgiveness today. I am a radiation oncologist who treats cancer patients. I notice that in my patients the ones who do better are the ones who have made peace , the ones who aren't holding grudges, the ones who have forgiven. I had a patient who had a brain tumor. I will never forget her , she was only 37 and she had a 10 year old son. The tumor went away with treatment but recurred. She went to hospice. I went to visit her in Hospice and we prayed and she received a miraculous healing and actually went home.

But when I would see her in follow up visits in my office, she always talked about her son's father and how angry she was with him and how she couldn't forgive him. She was well , but bitter and angry despite her miraculous healing. I begged her as her doctor to forgive, but she refused.

They called me to the emergency room one day about a year later, and she was there with the brain tumor back. I asked her to forgive and let the root of bitterness go, and even in the ER on the stretcher , she refused.

I really think forgiving and letting go of bitterness will free you and allow you to heal and recover from many diseases. Sad to say, she didn't make it. You may think this is coincidence, but I believe it plays a part. Forgiveness.... it's for you more than for the other person. They are out somewhere laughing and having a good time, while you are sitting around with high blood pressure and stomach ulcers. Forgive... for your own sake.

Peace to you,

Dr. Webb

Having Peace and helping your body

Hi Everyone,
My name is Dr. Jennifer Webb. I am an oncologist who specializes in helping women. I live in the Detroit area and treat breast cancer patients. My heart goes out to so many people, because I see a lot of things that people can do to help themselves feel better, prevent disease and look better. I decided to start this blog and today is my first entry. I hope someone finds it and is helped by it.

Not all my blogs will be about oncology related things. I want to help people in so many areas , so I am going to take a chance and see how this works out, so here goes....

If you want to do something that will really help you feel better, you should try a Yoga class. I went to the Center for Yoga in Birmingham, Michigan and took my first class today. OMG, I can not tell you how much better I felt. I had so much peace when I left and I believe I got a better work out than with my trainer at the gym. You need to break a sweat everyday to get rid of toxins in your body - the instructor told us the heat we were generating was getting rid of built up toxins ,helping our organs to function better and increasing our metabolism. I can not wait to get back there, I have not felt that good and that peaceful in a long time!

My mother used to take Yoga classes in the 70's . I can see why. My mom was wise.

So do yourself a favor and see if yoga is for you.

Til next time,

Wanting you to be healthy and look good!

Love,
JW
