>. I think that the spunk of the person has a lot to do with survival. >Hope is a strong healer. ----------------- With all due respect, Paula, I have know some very faithfilled, hopeful, loving, positive Christians who are now very dead. They had the right attitude, but the wrong cancer. When someone is told that a positive attitude can heal them and they continue to get worse, they have the added burden of believing that they are the cause of their problem. They are not. Life happens and everyone dies - even the most saintly among us. --------- God bless Mary Ann (CG Jamie 66/26 with PD) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
