I went through a phase after being dx as stage 2a, that I would never get it again and I was done. But 2 years later, I was forced to deal with it again and told I was Stage 4. I wish now, that I just would have said to myself "It's probably going to come back, just live life!" Instead, I spent all this time worrying and denying that it would come back. I was myserable. Now that it came back, after the initial anger, I have decided that (for me) I am happy with setting goals of what I want to do. I do scrapbooking and work on things that are sentimental in nature. These are things I enjoy. I will be taking some trips this summer and visiting family and friends. I just sat down and thought about what I wanted to do, and started listing them on a peice of paper. If I had done this earlier, I wouldn't have felt so guilty about wasting my time with things that weren't important.


My advice is : Set some Goals to do things that are Important to You and Your Loved Ones.

Really, that's just a good thing to do in life no matter how long you live. I wish I had started doing this sooner!!!
