Re: Stage 4, 4 1/2 year update - still stable/got divorced/dating with a port
Great story Rachael! All things are possible with an attitude like yours. Your therapist sounds like she was right there to support and encourage you as you stepped up and bravely found a life that was meaningful and rewarding to you. I think everyone should read this story. (Even if they do not have cancer)
I,too, try hard to manage my energy like StephN said. I try to do what is really important to me and let the other stuff go.
All the best, Catherine
