This is fantastic! the book im reading now Spontaneous Healing by Andrew Weil covers this. Theres a chapter about Cancer and how pessimistic doctors are which makes people think they have no control or options. Whereas if they gave the patient ways they can improve their lifestyle and reduce impact of Cancer, it provides hope and makes people believe they may have a chance. I guess doctors see that as 'false hope' and they dont want to give that. But just as Marcos says 'if youre still breathing there is always a chance, something worth fighting for'
