It happens. I do it, but in different ways, and why not, it's your life! What I do is become so involved 24/7, I tend to neglect rest, food, sleep, forget fun, and even the last two nights I had a dream about treatment lol, and research around 16 hours a day like a race against time, on the hunt like a bloodhound, and want things done immediately, like tests, dr visits, results, consultations, which doesn't happen. I think it's better than being passive, at least for me.
