The women came in and wrote about their cancer.

The women who wrote about this, visited the doctor office less often, were more likely to survive their cancer.

Just by changing their perspective, by changing their focus. Now these women did not say "it happened for the best".
通过改变她们的观念，改变她们的关注点。这些女人没有说"患上癌症最好了"
Maybe some did; but most did not. They said "I wish I didn't have this cancer".
也许有些人会这么说，但大部分不会。他们会说"但愿我没有癌症"
However it happened, you know. Stuff happens. The question is what we do with it; how we interpret it after.
"但我确实患上了。关键是我们怎么处理，怎么看待这个病"
Then they said to themselves "OK, so we get closer to our family; I'm appreciating life so much more now;
然后她们跟自己说："我们和家人更亲近了"；"我现在更感激生活了"
I can enjoy the breath or flower, or I couldn't before my family so much closer now; I know who my real friends are".
"我可以享受一下花香了"，"现在我和家人乐也融融"；"现在我知道谁才是真正的朋友了"
And they found benefit in it. Not for the best.

But they made the best of the things that happened.

There's a lot of research on optimism, benefit-finding and longevity.
