I have interviewed people from around the country for my book and blog and have found the following common attributes of people who beat the odds: - They don’t buy into statistics and the death sentences many of them were given. - They never gave up no matter what. They may have had down times, but were able to pull it together and do what they needed to do. - They choose to look on the positive side, see the gifts that a cancer diagnosis brings. - They have a strong desire to give back and make a difference in other people’s lives, whether it is fundraising, lobbying or supporting other survivors. - Most have a strong sense of faith. Even if they didn’t believe in God, they believed in a higher power(s). -They all have support from family, loved ones or support groups. These connections gave them a reason to carry on. -They are proactive in the health care, doing research and seeking out several medical and holistic opinions
