You can manage cancer. You don't have to be degraded by humiliating treatments and protocols. And in some cases, you can be cured of cancer.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Until you expose the cancer, you can't fix it.
One thing you have to realize is that cancer is not something you necessarily cure, but you want to just take care of yourself and extend your life as long as you can.
Like every aspect of cancer I've weathered thus far, today's experience was not at all demoralizing, expensive or humiliating. No, it was just plain fun.
Although the elusive 'cure' may be a distant dream, understanding the true nature of cancer will enable it to be better controlled and less menacing.
Cancer is a scary thing and you have to deal with it seriously.
Cancer is a disease where the patient can contribute a great deal of help himself if he or she can retain their morale and their hopes.
It doesn't make sense that there is only one way of dealing with cancer.
I'm sorry to say cancer can kill you, but it doesn't make you a better person.
I think the way we think about cancer, the way we treat cancer, has dramatically changed in the last century. There is an enormous amount of options that a physician can provide today, right down from curing patients, treating patients or providing patients with psychic solace or pain relief.
You don't treat cancer - you fight it.
