Re: Finding Little Comfort in the Statistics of Survival
Ellie, I agree that humans are programmed to find answers and
solutions to problems. In our case, I think we're looking for a specific
answer ... we want to be told that we're going to be okay. I think it's more
than wanting to understand our cancers - we want to hear 'good' news.
