Lesson 5 & 6
tendency to second guess the past. I know that I did. Why did this
happen to me? What did I do wrong? But that kind of thinking does not
help in your treatment or in the outcome.
Getting cancer is not your fault. You just have to know that those
kinds of things happen in life and your objective now is not to dwell
on what might have been but on what is. So I believe the best option
is to get your plan in place and stick with it. Don’t think about who
is to blame. Think about your actions.
Yankees called "You’ve got to have heart" sung by the Washington
baseball team in the locker room regarding their game with the
Yankees. One line in the song goes. "You’ve got to have hope; miles
and miles and miles of hope." And that is true with the fight against
cancer. You have got to hope that you will succeed. You have got to
hope that tomorrow will be better than today. You have got to have
hope that the treatment will work. If you don’t have hope in what you
are doing, than the odds are that it will be a self-fulfilling
prophecy and you will fail.

Foundation. Any time during the day that I feel that I am losing my
confidence or feeling down about things, I take a look at the bracelet
and it reminds me that I must have hope.
