If you are up to reading, i highly recommend a book called
Love, Medicine & Miracles by a surgeon called
Bernie S. Siegel. This book is full of hope. It describes some extraordinary experiences he had with a very special group with "exceptional" patients...
Exceptional in that "miracles" - such as spontaneous regressions where least expected - occurred subsequent to changes made in a patient's mindset, lifestyle, or some form of self-awakening. I recall a description about having his pediatric patients envision fighting their disease, and that some would draw pictures of "antibodies" (rockets or phasers) fighting "invader" cells (often depicted in dark colors) and such like. (I don't think the book was limited to cancer... do not recall as i read it a long time ago.)
The point is, everything counts in what your mind does... positive imagery... everything.
Here's the Amazon general link to the book:

And this is Amazon's "look inside" link to the book:
