stay positive, not that's it a good comparison but a friends wife after being repeatedly misdiagnosed with "urinary tract infections" finally got a doctor that actually did their job. she was told the cancer was stage three and inoperable, it sounded pretty grim. she ended up getting chemo and radiation which shrank it to the point they could operate. that was at least five years ago and she's doing fine now.

cancer is never good news but compared to years past they've made some pretty good progress against it overall
