Re: Life changed November 09
Skip,
By finding this forum, you are already of great help. I encourage you to continue to access this site as it is an amazing source of information and inspiration.
If my emotional outbursts serve as a bit of a guide, please be patient with your wife as she takes stock of her past and trys to absorb what the future might hold.
A book that was helpful for me was "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle.
Finally...check out my history. I was diagnosed Stage IV 2 1/2 years ago. I was able to live a full and active life through chemo and currently am No Evidence of Disease (NED).
So, please take heart.
We are a fun loving group of survivors and welcome you to our shared journey!!
Lori
