First, I'd go with the above.

Second, it's amazing how the people who exceed "medical expectations" in these sort of things are those who are optimistic, even to the point of being irrationally optimistic. My uncle just got through having lymphoma on his spine which he (a) was supposed to not recover from (at all) a large % of the time; and (b) the times he did make it through he was supposed to have limited mobility, etc. He's the type of dude who has a "no, I'm going to get better because ______, and I'm going to get back to full health by doing _____ daily," attitude (West Point mentatily, I guess). No cancer, and he's walking 5 miles a day. He's a badass.

Point being, think happy/optimistic thoughts, and back them up with actions where possible. Best of luck.
