That's a wonderful attitude. Each year I survive,(5 years now), has brought me more confidence that all my surgery and chemo treatments DID destroy all those monster cancer cells.
Being a nurse and having doctors and medical professionals speak bluntly and not sugar coat my prognosis in the face
of an extremely aggessive cancer made me more realistic.
The good news is that I have learned to live in the present and find great joy in every experience and happy memory I make. I have become a survivor who assists other women going through surgery and chemo whenever I am asked or see the need. I am also educating oher survivors suffering long term side effects to seek treatment from their doctors.
I don't know 100% I'll live to age 90. But, I am alive in the present. I'll take that and live with gusto.
