" Keep a positive attitude and focus on your future horizon and opportunities (not on the cancer/diagnosis, etc.)."
My attitude is two-fold - first, I beat this thing into submission once, and I can do it again. Second, I make an effort to never refer to it as "my cancer" - I don't own it, I didn't ask for it, and it's an unwelcome squatter in my body. I deal with it and the treatment as and when I have to - other than that, it's not the focus of my life. |
