Well said, Debbie.

Let's see - I often talk about endorphene and how the 'happy hormone' can strengthen our immune system and bring better healing.

Do mice engage themselves in any 'happy' activities? Perhaps their 'exercise' help some...

My point is - human beings are so much more complex than mice in the aspect of our 'emotion' and decision-making processes.

Mice don't read books or locate information on the Internet. They don't have support groups allowing them to talk to others 'out of state' or around the world... I've never seen any mouse doctor itself or seek help from others.

However, I think we should take advantage of the research and get as much help/assistance from others as needed. Adequate rest, balanced meal, and happy mood definitely is needed for our cancer fight.

OK, Dr. Amen and other specialists are on CNN talking about the 'brain' right now. (Unlocing the mystery of the brain: how your thinking affects your quality of life)

ps.

"So next time people accuse you of being lazy, tell them you are working very hard to keep the mets out of your system. Doctors orders!"

Thanks, Jacqueline, exactly what I need to tell my family. Because they did not know about the huge tumor in the center of my brain, I was labelled as 'lazy' my whole life until I had the brain surgery when I was 30. [Then I became 'perfect'! ]I've had so many surgeries and worked very hard to keep different types of 'tumors' out of my system. My oncologist had just encouraged me to join the hospital's breast cancer support group to help newly diagnosed. I think I am going to encourage them to allow themselves to be 'lazy'...
