A member asked:
Is cancer psychologically based?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO: ...But i think a positive mental attitude definitely helps cancer patients fight their disease. A patient can't be a pollyanna , but sitting about and feeling sorry for one's self because one has developed a disease does no good.
