This has been my philosophy once I got over the initial shock. That was two years ago. Anytime some one asks me how I handle this, I just tell them that I am living with cancer, not dying from it. Being positive is only going to add to our quality of life and I do believe that it also gives us the strength to deal with whatever comes our way. I, too, compared it to being a diabetic.
It doesn't seem so ominous this way. It's part of mind over matter. I just keep telling myself I will get through this.
