i can’t source it and it’s tangential but i do remember hearing about some study that looked at people’s reactions to their cancer diagnosis
some people react with melancholy
some people react by entering into a strict regime to give themselves that maximum chance of surviving, like heavily controlled diet, exercise, etc.
some people react with outrage and denial, just refusing to allow the fact that they have cancer alter their lives
and the outcome was that the second groups had better outcomes than the first, but more interestingly, the third group also had better outcomes than the first
