Susan: We've all been there! That "kicked in the gut feeling" does go away in time. I received 2 good pieces of advice when I was first diagnosed, both from my sister who was diagnosed 18 months before me. She said #1 You have to believe you will survive and decide to do whatever it takes to make that happen and #2 You have to become a little selfish for a while. You have to come first because you've fighting for your life. You have to put that before your family, your job or anything else. That was the best advice I got so I thought I'd pass it on to you.
