Someone asked me recently, what is the key success in fighting cancer? I told him that other than having access to the best doctor and best medical treatment available, the patient's own psychological mindset is also key to fight cancer.
It has been proven that if one is a determined person, he would be able to fight cancer better than one who gives up hope and let fate takes over.
A strong and determined mind not only can help to keep the disease at bay, but it would also help the patient to cope with the various treatment better. This would improve survival rate in the long run.
Remember, cancer is not a death sentence. If you are willing to fight, you would stand a better chance, especially with all the latest treatment available now. Don't give up the fight and let the disease beat you!

What a nice post. I've just found your blog. It looks like a great find. A welcome addition. It's interesting to me about your beliefs on mind set. When I was diagnosed at age 36 with breast cancer, my past medical background was forefront in my mind...saying "there is no cure yet". I fought anyway. I've lost 6 people that were going through various cancers with me. It's hard to keep that first original thought from sitting there beside me day, after day. I like your site.
I just checked out the site on your side bar -The Cancer Blog. I found myself leaving a post there as well. They were giving some guidance about hair loss and choosing a wig. I hope they didn't mind my interjecting.
Dear Chrysalis, its good to hear that you survived cancer. Yes, we need to educate the cancer patients that there is HOPE nowadays, we must be strong to fight cancer mentally.
