Hi, I agree with you. If you've got your choice between a good or bad attitude, pick good. I am not all doom and gloom - far from it. I actually have a positive attitude and a "strange" sense of humour. I agree with you that it gives us a better quality of life. When I was first diagnosed, I had so many people calling me and telling me to STAY POSITIVE !!! I got to thinking that if I had one "down" day, the cancer cells were going to gobble me up.
I thought I had enough problems to deal with - I didn't want to start worrying about putting a smile on my sad face. I think the positive attitude is one of the many things we can do to help ourselves have a better quality of life.
I'm still waiting for Andi, Andi, Sweet as Candy, to give me a blast of something.
