"Inundate yourself with positive affirmations, books, images, and people.
"Read everything you can about self healing.

"Believe in yourself. Believe in healing.
"Find peace in every day.
"Pray or meditate every day.

"If you can, if you have the energy and only if you want to, be of service to someone else. Don't feel guilty if the time isn't right. Acknowledge how you give of yourself in your everyday life.
"Think of cancer as a big fat wake-up call that you can live your life differently and better than you ever have before. Take this experience and turn it into a blessing.
"Focus on what you want. Go for it.
"Trust that you are being guided. Trust yourself. Trust life. Trust God."
