8 years agoI wasn’t directing the victim mentality comment at you @AllyJay. I know what you mean, but sometimes the negativity can drag us down. I was sitting in the sunshine by the beach when I wrote that comment.
My oncologist told me that only unhappy people are on forums like this. I disagree with him, but I do come on to have whinge. I guess I was just trying to say that life does return to a level of normality. I have scars, but I also have options and I guess that was my point. If cancer comes back, I’ll deal with it. The moment I was shopping and realised I could soon be dead was a profound moment for me. I survived that and although the issue of dying is always in the back of my mind, I have a place mentally for it. I also try not to keep a mental shopping list of crap things that have happened to me. These are my mental strategies. No two people are the same and that’s why I like it on here. All the best with your treatment. x
