Can you watch some comedies or anything fun with him? Cant go into detail now but they had a whole day on health today including cancer. Tony Robbins lead trainer was speaking as Tony has to rest his voice every second day due to the tumour in his throat.

Anyways Joseph told of several stories, including his own mother of cancer. He says there are two types of cancer; CAN-survive and CAN-surrender. He told of research out there that when cancer survival rates were low, like in the 80's and people given a verdict - a timeline of survival - would often die the following day or so. Like they had condemned themselves to death.

His mother was given 90 days or something, and he fought the doctor not to give her the verdict. He said, I appreciate your diagnosis, but I refuse to accept your verdict - and almost got escorted out by security in the process lol. He brought in his VCR and tapes and made her laugh as much as she could. She lived for another 11 years. Other stories included other cancers deemed terminal. You can accept and surrender, or you can try and heal yourself.

You also hear from nurses in the outback where they will have an aboriginal admitted to hospital, they cant work out whats wrong, the patient says they got pointed at by 'the bone' or whatever it is, that is a symbol of death from their community.

I am a huge believer in the mind when it comes to health. Diet and lifestyle is also massive, but the approach to treating these people about accepting death - laughter and humour are such a great thing.

Perhaps an honest word, that you want to be there and support him. See if he's open to opening his mind....
