I can't recommend this in any way as I've just downloaded it for free and haven't read it.  The Amazon reviews are all good.  I don't know if it's acceptable to put links to products so I'll say the title and author, just cut and paste into a search while it's free till Friday.  I downloaded today and it's Friday here already.

Quote from the book:

“It is more important to know what sort of a patient has a disease than what sort of a disease a patient has."

I know of people who say they completely changed their lifestyle and went into long term remission.  One posted on here a long time ago though I don't have a link as I didn't think to note it. It was a long term survivor's thread and she had posted long before I read it 4 or 5 years ago. She claims when she was told she had mets, her abusive husband mocked her.  She decided on the spot to leave and realised all her "stuff" was unnecessary to her life.  So she left with a small case of belongings.  She stayed with a friend till she got a small trailer, just a couple of rooms with minimal possessions.  Her mets didn't show on her next scans.  She said she threw out her abusive husband, her baggage and the cancer, but she put it much more crudely, I wish I could remember the expression as it was very funny.  She had been cancer free for around 10 years when she posted.

I don't advocate people leave their loved ones unless they are abusive, or ditch all their belongings, but rather to ditch their addictions.  Shopping, working, gossip, collecting information, being right, seeking adventure, seeking isolation, anxiety that eats away day and night, really anything that's done to excess with a passion.

How to drop the anxiety?  I'm still working on that.  Positive thinking is just temporary as our thoughts follow our beliefs, life long conditioning and mood which are mostly automatic and not known. We are anxious about maintaining our self concept; who we think we are.  If someone dares to suggest we have a negative quality that is not part of our persona... ouch! If someone is thought to be disagreeing with something we believe in such as our medical preference, LOL, it feels like "we" are being attacked. Yet we are defending something that exists only in our mind.  Our personality is entirely made up.  We can be anything we want within the limitations of our physical and intellectual abilities.  The world is really our oyster if only we can accept that. These are my ideas after reading philosophers, psychologists and self-help books all my adult life.  I could be completely wrong but anyway this knowledge has helped me incredibly and I'd love to hear people's ideas about this.
