Very beautifully said and written. You are right.
Good medical treatment and advances in medical science are important, but surviving and thriving involves alot more than medical science, doctors, nurses, chemo, radiation and surgery.
It takes compassion and prayers from those around us.
It involves what we eat, do and think.
Having a positive, assertive attitude helps.
It involves spirituality and a connection to something greater than ourselves.
It involves a sense of thankfulness for life on earth.
Keep doing what you have been doing, because it is certainly working. I am so happy for you.
