I have always believed in a positive attitude and a growth mindset too, @Deanne. When there is a problem, my response is 'how do we tackle it?' This carried through to my diagnosis with TNBC 6 years ago. As the specialists did their part to help me, I did mine too, by adjusting my diet, maintaining a healthy weight, and exercising 5-6 days a week, even if it was just walking. I bought meditation tapes, learned relaxation techniques, and rewarded myself with travel and new experiences. I also learned to avoid non-positive people in my life. It worked for me, and still does. And I am older than all of you, so something was right. I agree @Afraser that attitude can't fix side effects, but it works most of the rest of the time. So glad to hear you are doing well @Deanne. (PS. I had a double mastectomy, 3 months weekly chemo, 28 rads & a hysterectomy!)
