We started to tell people. We heard some well-meaning myths about how Husband’s positive attitude would help the chemo. No it won’t – it will help him and those around him but it won’t make a difference to how the chemicals work. Cancer can’t be fought with a positive attitude, it can be fought with chemicals. To say, however nicely, that attitude makes a difference rather implies that those who die do so because their attitude was in some way lacking.
