The importance of determination
Interesting, enlightening, important and inspirational post at Fresh Bilge on possibly exciting new treatments for cancer. Alan has been beating back CLL for a while thanks to sought-and-found knowledge, a spicy and interesting diet, (mostly) good medical treatment, determination, and lots of exercise. His blog is a must-read for anyone interested in following an unmaudlin and unselfpitying coming to understanding and coping. Among other things, he writes: "IMO, it is the determination to fight that counts, not prayers or rosy hopes. Many people perceive realism as negative, and think it undermines life expectancy. This is a crock. Hope does not heal, but will and effort can sustain health and life longer."
