sometimes hope is all that we have to go on. hope prayer the power of positive thinking etc. cannot be measured for treatment efficacy but having a hopeful outlook may not change outcome but it will make everyone feel better.
how much does hope play in to the outcome of treatment. its not that i have no hope for a favorable outcome but i'm a plan for the first and hope for the best type of person. my wife feels that i should not be that way and says that hope plays a huge role in the outcome. what do you think?
