Wow, Alice, you are truly amazing." Nurse Molly smiled, as she rolled Alice into surgery. "Really?" "Really." Nurse Molly laughed. "I have never seen anyone take an IV as well as you did. Were you even aware that I was putting the IV in?" "Not really." Alice admitted, smiling at Dr. Molly. "I was distracting myself with positive self-talk." "That's very good, Alice." Clearing her throat, Nurse Molly asked, "What things have you been telling your-self?" "I have been telling myself that I am not going to let this cancer win and that I am more than willing to do whatever it takes to make sure it doesn't come back."
