Minding our health
If chemo fails, there's always positive thinking, or so we'd like to believe. Medical historian Anne Harrington looks at our persistent faith in curing ourselves.

    Thank you for your post. It was much appreciated. Yes, I am hurting big time right now. I do have an excellent support network of family and friends, and I will do better as time passes. Right now, however, life is impossibly lonely even when people are here with me. Rambling around my empty house where everything reminds me of her is a minute by minute exercise in trying to maintain control.

    I also have a very intense, high pressure job which helps distract me for a good part of each day. We were both very successful, so I have lots of money, lots of stuff, lots of memories but no wife. I would have given it all up for just a little more time with my wife.

    Sorry for wearing my heart on my sleeve in a public forum.
