Molly Ivins quote
Marejo, I do not share your particular faith, but I LOVE your advice - GRAB HOLD! ENJOY! LOVE! We cannot do better than that.
As for attitude affecting cancer outcome, Molly Ivins said it simply and strongly, which I understand was her style for life in general:
"Another thing you get as a cancer patient is a lot of football-coach patter. "You can beat this; you can win; you're strong; you're tough; get psyched." I suspect that cancer doesn't give a rat's ass whether you have a positive mental attitude. It just sits in there multiplying away, whether you are admirably stoic or weeping and wailing. The only reason to have a positive mental attitude is that it makes life better. It doesn't cure cancer."
