@lizzyj58 if they haven’t told you already, you will hear that attitude plays a big role. I heard that patients with a positive outlook did much better. So I was determined to show up each week, ready for more.

I was told each week that it was going to get tougher. Ok, my eyes were wide open from all I read. I didn’t really need to hear this but I think the teams are concerned that a patient will give up. The focus is completing the plan.

My positive attitude was built on my faith, my wife’s and daughter’s support, the fact that I wanted to live and actually felt lucky that there was a treatment that beats this and probably a little “I’ll show them”.
