“Looking back over about 30 years of patient interactions… for most people, a cancer diagnosis starts with shock, disbelief, or anger. The most important thing is recognizing that it is normal, and you honor that. But at a point, you have to start working towards a better position to take on this bad diagnosis that you have been given. When it comes to healing, the mind does matter.”
