My takeaway… it is possible, however unlikely, to beat the odds. Hope (and excellent medical care) are necessary - to say nothing of good fortune and luck. Last week, I was diagnosed with a grim, aggressive form of cancer. The outlook is not great. But I need to stay focused on me, my situation, and my care. I cannot let the numbers, statistics, and most likely result take control of my emotional state. I’m not sailing down the river of denial. But I am determined to keep my eyes up, open, and forward looking. This case gives me hope. Thank you for a well written article.
