A number of people elect to cure their cancers by changing their food choices. Normally this is by changing their diet to include organic food and not eating dairy foods amongst other things. However our families are more used to conventional treatments for cancer such as radio therapy and chemotherapy. Often that decision results in conflict and a high level of arguments that are draining to all concerned, but definitely something that the cancer suffer should be avoiding. All of your energy should be diverted into curing yourself nor arguing, therefore these conflicts have to be resolved quickly and efficiently.
Although there are many cases of cancer being cured by diet, it is still a philosophy which is outside conventional treatment and not supported by Western oncologists. It often is considered under alternative medicine. That means that your family probably has a level of support for your supposedly crackpot decision. So to stop the arguments and conflicts, you have to get your family to deal with you by accepting your decision.
Most methods of solving conflict involve a level of discussion and a give and take attitude that will lead to compromise. However, in this case you may not feel you have the reason to compromise. This is essentially an emotive subject and your family will probably not be swayed by intellectual argument. Focus on the root of the problem, get your family to verbalize why they think you are doing the wrong thing. Much of their replies will involve fear, as in fear of losing you because you have not gone down the conventional treatment role. It is normal for people close to you to feel that way.
Focus very hard and explain clearly that it is your life and one which you do not want to take a chance with. You are not going to win anyone over with intellect but you can appeal to their emotions and explain that the emotions they fear are your fears as well. Try and work out a solution that you all share in the knowledge of your treatment to minimize the fears. What ever the outcome, it is vital that you stay a hundred percent focused so that you can achieve your ends, you have no time to go down the route of inaction, every day is vital. It is important that you stand your ground and be firm no matter what.
Draw up a family plan which supports your actions and if possible get your family to join you in diet changes, but at the very least they have to agree to support you, they must come around to your ideas rather than you coming around to theirs. If necessary you can insist on your right to decide on your own treatment but before you go down that road try and resolve the conflict, quickly.
