The fact that it is not as bad as you imagined it would be, that you feel too good, or whatever, do not deny it. That would get in your way. Never [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While we cannot precisely control our thoughts, a cancer patient must make a drastic attempt to avoid negative feelings and enhance and concentrate on positive reflections. Our immune system is what we depend on to prevent and destroy cancer. Stress depresses the immune system. Thoughts can create or eradicate stress. Many of us believe that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have thought how devastating it must be for an oncologist to give a horribly toxic treatment to a seemingly strong patient, totally destroying the quality of their life, only to find it ineffective and watch the patient die. That physician not only has my sympathy, but my admiration, providing the treatment was given with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What is life? Without a decent quality of life or the prospect of one, life certainly is not worth living. Health, happiness, money, friends, family and numerous other aspects all go into making up quality of life, but the overall feeling is far more important than any single factor. For cancer patients, one component that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It has been felt for many years that there is a relationship between the patient&#8217;s mental attitude and successful cancer treatment. A great deal of effort has been put into scientifically proving this relationship with very little definitive results. There are many anecdotal stories validating the premise but very little substantive proof. Personally, I have [...]]]></description>

Curable individuals are being told, &#8220;There is nothing that can be done&#8221; or &#8220;The treatments are worse than death.&#8221; It is terrible to believe that individuals might [...]]]></description>
