Adjusting to bad news, staying hopeful, changing habits

@kabash It's good that you're moving forward with your treatment.  It is amazing how much that helps.  Sometimes writing things down can be quite cathartic and I think it helps for other newbies to see that they're not alone.  I started a blog when I first began treatment which was mainly to update friends and family but it became a way of getting my thoughts out and now is a journal of the year of treatment.  Take care.
