YANA - YOU ARE NOT ALONE NOW

PROSTATE CANCER SUPPORT SITE

 

 

This forum is for the discussion of anything to do with Prostate Cancer.
There are only four rules:

  • No fundraisers, no commercials (although it is OK to recommend choices of treatment or medical people based on your personal research; invitations to participate in third-party surveys are also acceptable, provided there is no compensation to YANA);
  • No harvesting e-mail addresses for Spam;
  • No insults or flaming - be polite and respectful at all times and understand that there may be a variety of points of view, all of which may have some validity;
  • Opinions are OK, but please provide as much factual evidence as possible for any assertions that you are making

Failure to abide by these simple rules will result in the immediate and permanent suspension of your posting privileges.

Since this is an International Forum, please specify your location in your post.

Re: Meditation

Aloha Don,
I don't have the experience to say what the relationship might be, but it does sound about the same. It has been a few years since my biopsy. I do not remember any pain. I think the doc gave me a valium to get me relaxed for the procedure. When you meditate to help with pain, you can't really ignore the pain. You do acknowledge that you have the pain and try to identify the characteristics of the pain. So, instead of trying to put pain out of your mind, you cuddle up to it and try to find out as much as you can about it. Somewhere in this process, the pain is suppose to become less of a problem. I know that several clinics use this approach to pain and report that 1/2 or more patients have less pain. Especially those suffering from the chronic pain that interferes with their lives.

Perhaps you will also find them useful.
