CancerGuide Mind and Attitude Section

Does your attitude affect your odds? Can you use your mind to improve your odds? How to cope with the stresses of cancer? In short, I think attitude counts, but it's definitely not just about positive thinking, believing you will get well. If only it were that simple. Life is deeper and more complicated than that.
