Welcome to Beat Cancer Daily! If you dont know my story, I was diagnosed with stage IIIc colon cancer at 26 years old. After surgery I opted out of chemotherapy and embarked on a holistic healing adventure, which is detailed in my first book, Chris Beat Cancer: A Comprehensive Plan for Healing Naturally. This journey changed my life and taught me invaluable lessons about life and death, faith and fear, self-care and survival. Over the last 16 years Ive had the privilege of studying and learning from many other doctors, experts, and survivors.

I also created a video course for cancer patients, their loved ones, and those interested in prevention, called the SQUARE ONE Cancer Coaching Program.

I wrote Beat Cancer Daily to give you daily inspiration, encouragement, and action steps to help you survive and thrive. Every day is an opportunity for change and growthmentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. The intention of this book is to help you work through the process of radical life change. To help you make your life simpler yet richer. To help you take control of your health, to help you face your fears, to help you fan the flames of faith, to help you let go of the past, and to help you embrace the present and be hopeful about the future.

There are recurring themes throughout this book because sometimes you need to hear the same piece of advice two or three or ten times before it sinks in. This book will challenge you in the best way possible. It will challenge you to examine your life from every angle, to think differently, to push through resistance, and to take massive action. I didnt just write this book to help you; I wrote it to help me too. Even though I dont have cancer anymore, I need this encouragement, advice, inspiration, and motivation every single day, just like you.

My prayer for you is that you prosper in good health even as your soul prospers.

And that you beat cancer daily!

Chris

This is the day which the Lord has made;
Let us rejoice and be glad in it.

PSALM 118:24 (NASB)

Most days, this is the first verse I think of as soon as I wake up. It reminds me that God is the Creator of life, the Creator of the universe, and the Creator of today.

Cancer taught me how precious life is and to thank God for every new day of life.

God created today, and you can trust Him to get you through it.

Happiness is a choice. You can choose to be glad.

Rejoice means to be joyful. You can choose to be joyful.

Gratitude is also a choice. You can choose to be thankful for another day of life and for every single thing you have.

Stir up your happiness by doing things that happy people do. Smile, laugh, sing, dance! This is the day the Lord has made. Rejoice and be glad in it!

Welcome to the University of Cancer Survival, aka Cancer College. You are now enrolled as a full-time student.

Your self-directed course curriculum should be tailored to provide you with expertise in your cancer type, the benefits and risks of treatments, anti-cancer nutrition, exercise, detoxification, mindset, stress reduction, faith, fear, and forgiveness.

The quality of the education you receive will be directly proportional to your enthusiasm to learn, your willingness to set aside your preconceived notions, your openness to consider new information and ideas, and your commitment to put your newly acquired knowledge to use and to change every aspect of your life.

Theres a lot to learn and a lot to do, but dont let yourself feel overwhelmed. You are smart and capable. You can do this!

Be organized, diligent, patient, and persistent. Keep searching and keep learning. And trust that the answers, help, information, and resources you need will come to you at the perfect time.

In 2003 my body was trying to get my attention. And the message was, Hey, the way you are living is killing you! I realized that I alone was responsible for my life and health, no one else. And if I had inadvertently contributed to my illness, then I could also deliberately contribute to my wellness. This revelation, free of blame or shame, snapped me out of complacency and victimhood and empowered me to take massive action to radically change my life. If you have cancer, your body is trying to tell you the same thing. Your survival is not a coin toss. Its not a casino bet. You have the power to affect your future, to stack the odds in your favor with your daily choices. Now is the time to make deliberate life- and health-promoting choices each day. Your choices matter!
