believe you'll be okay.
Those are actually acts of denial.
The best mindset to be in when you have cancer is the mindset that this is manageable.
Contrast that to the mindset of this is a catastrophe.
It's unmanageable, right?
Another mindset that we found is very useful for people going through cancer is the mindset that their bodies are capable.
Many people who are diagnosed with cancer feel like their bodies have let them down, that their bodies have turned on them or at best are just sort of not working right now.
And what we've found in a number of studies, including trials where we work to inspire people into different mindsets, is that moving to adopt the mindset that cancer is manageable, their bodies are capable,
is profoundly transformative in shaping their whole experience.
So it changes their quality of functioning in life.
And it also reduces physical symptoms like nausea and fatigue and upset stomach and other things when they're going through chemotherapy.
So we don't know.
Right now we're doing another trial looking at how to change these mindsets.
And we're measuring people's blood samples.
And we're looking at immune markers that are associated with cancer outcomes.
So we don't know yet the results of those trials.
But I would bet a lot of money that these mindsets don't just stay above the skin.
They're getting down and they're influencing our body's response.
I think what I would say to the person listening or watching is to start where you are, right?
To start by acknowledging the problems that you're facing.
