Excerpt from a letter written by Hal :
I’m going to heal myself.
I am not scared-just a little confused about what to do. Would I be better off scared? i.e: am I too complacent?
Maybe I am complacent because I see myself as having been incredibly lucky all my life with no misfortunes to speak of-nothing that could not be overcome. I just can’t believe my good fortune has suddenly been reversed.
Good things will continue for me as they always have-and so, somehow, this bad thing that exists only in the Ex-ray plates will either go away or be overcome by my optimism and my life-long propensity for good fortune.
Dosdall (author Claude Dosdall) generalizes about the needs and responses of the “cancer-prone.” Does having cancer make me a “cancer-prone” by definition? Am I kidding myself?
Must I have a strong passion for life in order to survive?
Isn’t it enough just to like being alive- taking each day as it comes and enjoying whatever it offers?
