> Sorry, but this does make me feel better. 😃 I seriously spent the first three weeks after diagnosis convincing myself, and acting upon, the idea I would be able to beat this disease with exercise and diet… and just… sheer… determination… (with gritted teeth). Didn’t take me long to reconsider my position.

What do you consider “beating the disease”?

No, you can’t cure yourself with diet, exercise, and sheer determination.

But you sure as hell can beat it, meaning it has absolutely no effect on you or anything you do.
