How has BC changed you and your attitude?

It has brought me so much closer to God. I always believed in him but took him for granted and rarely prayed. During the darkest hours when I thought I couldn't get through it, he was there and helped me. I honestly thought I would not be alive a year and facing death has made me stronger. It has also made me think so much about eternity and living for it. I no longer let the little things eat me alive and also have little patience with people who get so upset over stupid things. I think.."if only they knew". I am hoping it has made me a kinder, gentler person..I am working hard on that. It has made me more compassionate for those that are suffering or hurting, I am a better listenener and not so self centered. It now touches me deeply when something bad happens to someone, where as before I didn't give it much thought. It has made me more thankful for what I have. The things that have happened the last 2 years have made me realize that we are not guaranteed tomorrow and that we better live today. It has made me stop working so had and spend more time with my children. Since my diagnosis I have spent so many wonderful days in the park with my little girl. It hasn't been all good though, not nearly...cancer has shown me what true fear is. It has shown me what I have to lose...sherryg683
