Like diabetes, for example. I don't think that anyone diagnosed with diabetes is ever going to be "complacent" about it - it is still a serious disease - but they manage it and do not cringe in fear of the "D" word they way too many still do about the dreaded "C" word.<br /><br />I think once that fear is managed,, then we are on our way to treating cancers as diseases that many people will simply live with, as opposed to diseases that people inevitably die from.<br /><br />MichaelDr. Michael A.
