My best friend has stage 4 colon, liver and uterus cancer. She has been told she has just 12 months to live. She is 36. We are all trying to stay positive, but how do you fight a death sentence? Does anyone have any great words of advice? I have been reading a book called, "It's Just Hair: 20 Essential Life Lessons" by Judith L Pearson. It is a non-fiction self-help book dealing with cancer. It is for anyone facing a challenge in life that is written in a humorous, inspirational and encouraging tone.
Having a positive attitude seems to be the only way we are going to deal with this!

Dear Robyn,
I`m so sorry to hear about your best friend. I can only agree with you that a positive attitude and clear mind are the most important things in such situation! Well, what is her treatment plan? Even if she cannot be cured, she should be able to extend her life and have a quality of life!
I can suggest you to check out virotherapy, as it is said to activate the immune system significantly, thus letting the patient to have a quality of life.
Best wishes go to your friend and you,
