Discussion: I am a cancer patient man, 58 years old. I am desperate for all the medications I am taking. I am unable to be disciplined when it comes to lifestyle and healthy eating. Am I as weak in character as my wife claims?

Discipline in cancer patients is not only a question of personality but also concerns the question of HOPE. People who are hopeless about recovery get into a depression that takes away their vital energies. Willpower, discipline, and perseverance are qualities needed for recovery from chronic diseases, but without HOPE and ACCEPTANCE, it is almost impossible to recover from cancer. I recommend that chronic patients review the Kubler-Ross, also called the grief Model. It is important to internalize that a chronic illness is mourning for the suffering patient. Cancer is not an incurable disease!
