Doctors feel obligated to give the worst-case scenarios and in some cases, like clinical trials, are required by law to do so.

In every tough time a sign of happiness beams.
Whenever low-whenever down,
Remember life is a beautiful song.
So don't be low, don't be down,
Lead life like a beautiful song.

"Hope. It's a strange word isn't it? How can we have hope when everything is gone? How can we believe that things will get better when we've lost not just ourselves, but others too? The reason is because hope forces to refuse to give up. It gives the infinite power to never stop trying. Hope is the undying power that drives us to achieve any goal, anywhere, anytime. Never stop believing in hope. Somewhere, somehow hope can exist. Use it to strengthen your heart and empower your soul."
