Penn researchers find emotional well-being has no influence on cancer survival

This article - Penn researchers find emotional well-being has no influence on cancer survival - runs counter to what we've wanted to believe, that improving our mood or attitude will help us get better faster. I still believe that, with a positive attitude, one can be a better patient, more willing to do the things necessary to get well. It's important for me to remember, however, that a good attitude is a support for, not a replacement for, good medicine.
