Adjusting to bad news, staying hopeful, changing habits

Ah the language is a whole new one! It can confuse and confound. No-one of course intends to do that but it’s  easily done all the same. Here’s hoping that your treatment is as easy as possible and that your optimism and positive attitude assist to an excellent outcome. As @primek says, it’s possible and attainable. We all need determination, motivation and a bit of luck. I wish you all the best for the latter, you have the first two nailed.
