Stories of Success and treatments or activities that worked

Hi everyone. As a newbie here who hasn't started radiation yet (starts next week) I found the information here to be terrific and it gave me lots of ideas. But one negative has been the very sad stories that so many of us are going through. To be honest it was daunting to read some of the stories of suffering through extreme difficulties. I absolutely understand that this is the place for that and the support that is offered is both important, relevant and an outlet for some of the frustrations that many are going through.

However, from the perspective of someone who is just starting out it was (to be honest) kind of scary, to the point where I almost dropped out because it was so depressing.

I'd like to propose that we have a thread that's kind of uplifting to provide encouragement to those of us who are new and specifically hear about success stories, encouraging results and products or services that seem to work well. This would be someplace where those just coming into chemoradiation or just coming out of it might find a place of hope.

Well, that's it. I'd appreciate hearing other thoughts And if it resonates let's keep it going.
