I read an article somewhere written by an oncologist. He was talking about common themes he sees for his patients who are doing well. He talked about his patients with a strong support group and how much of a difference that can make. Duh! I have the biggest support group ever, so proportionally I should fare the best, right!? :)
The article also said patients that don't really know what's going on seem to do well also. This made me laugh. He described one patient who was in the chemo chair talking on the phone and said "I don't know what it is, lymphoma something?" (It was leukemia) I'm not that clueless, but I feel like he was saying those patients that are bogged down in stress and constantly thinking about it have a rougher go. Interesting article.
I'll keep you posted Thursday on results. Until then here's one of my support group. He's kiss ready :)
