"The mind lives where the body lives".

It's so important to try to maintain a positive attitude.

Receiving unfavorable medical news is so scary and isolating.

However, please remember that you have good friends who care about you as a person. Hold on to that. Hold on to the well wishes that you receive here, because people care about you...draw strength from that.

Do your best to embrace positivity while following your treatment plan. The positivity will help you heal.

You have always shown kindness here. You have always been kind to me. Now Dear Peggy, it's time for you to embrace the caring that is being reflected back to you now. Concentrate on this caring, and use it as a tool to help keep your mind positive.

You're strong. And we care. I care about you.
