Hi there

Thanks for your reply. I completely agree with you about your work. I'm fortunate enough to be retired (medically retired from the police force) so work isn't an issue for me.

I think you're very wise to put your efforts into getting well and staying positive. I had a bit of an epiphany about positive thinking very early in my journey. I recently described it to a friend as 'the most important thing I do all day'. 

When I'm under the shower I imagine the water washing the cancer away. Before I go to sleep I imagine that sleep will boost my immune system and help the healthy cells replace the cancer. When I'm weeding the garden I imagine I'm pulling the cancer cells out of my body. There's not many situations where I can't come up with something positive to help my body fight those tumours.

I believe it will help me get well. At the very least, it keeps me happy and a lot more fun to be around than if I sit in a corner feeling sorry for myself :D
