One with no doubt

“Have you read ‘the Last Lecture’?  It’s so moving,” asked one of my friends recently.   I explained that yes, I had read it about 10 years ago when it was first presented, before the author died, and incidentally, long before cancer became a part of my life. “You should really read it!  It’s so full of wisdom for someone in your situation.”  In my situation?  You mean as a cancer patient?  Or do you mean terminal?  Or something else? I often feel overwhelmed.  There are cascades of information that just pour over me, most of it useless or irrelevant, but still flooding over me until I feel like I’m drowning.  I’m asked if I’ve tried some combination of herbs/powders/crystals/greens that is circulating on the internet.  If I’ve tried some miracle drug that was mentioned in an article.  If I’ve eaten/avoided meat/sugar/lemons/maple syrup/honey/cinnamon/pepper/kale... Why haven’t I switched to fully organic, vegan, coconut oil-filled foods?  Why haven’t I got my marijuana supply yet?
