.....I am a Stage 3 lung cancer survivor, and statistically my odds are not good. I am whipping those odds, and I have a very strong feeling about the reasons...... My own recipe for surviving cancer includes Attitude (big time!), action, and enlisting/accepting all forms of support from family and friends. Hopefully these elements will be easy to see in my blog, http://www.dannscancerchronicles.blogspot.com [blogspot.com] .............................................. The people closest to me began sharing my emails with others who are dealing with cancer. They also encouraged me to write about my experiences for the benefit of others. This is my first step in that direction: Sharing with total strangers the very personal emails that I sent to family and friends from the day that I first learned that I had cancer onward. No problem!..... Here's to your health - and your Attitude! Dann
CANCER WITH ATTITUDE

Good for ideas about how to deal with cancer, whether you have it, know someone who does, or you are a treatment provider. Great for those who don't want to be victims waiting to see if they live or die.
