Editorial message for volume 6 issue 1 (January-June 2016)

In this issue, I continue my discussion on the plight of oral cancer patients and how their attitude and the counseling they receive would make all the difference when they are confronted with this horrendous disease. A few minutes of spent on counselling the patient when the patient is first informed about the disease can make all the difference between despair and hope. John Milton in "Paradise Lost" described how our attitude decides how we perceive a catastrophe in just nineteen words. "The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven."
