Hey there Crystal Ball,

I like you, made a conscious decision to "turn my back" on the whole thing once treatment was over. Don't underestimate that your very will to move on will be a big part in your outcome. Positve attitute helps. You will always go through times of doubt.... but refocus on what's important and pull yourself back out on top. I was diagnosed at a similar age to you (37)...This Aug 3rd, I will have made it to three years ! I am now 40 and happy and healthy and most of all grateful ! If you ever need a friend you can message me !
