Christmas emotions

I remember thinking when I was diagnosed that I would be Bald for Christmas, a sort of BC variant on Breast Cancer!  At least it made me laugh.  I've been lucky, 13 years on. But Cath62 is right - we tend to think we go on forever and something like cancer is a shock to that happy state of affairs. But we really never know the future, and spending too much of the present in regret for the past we can't change or in anxiety for the future we can't predict is an awful waste of the time you are actually in.  Take every pleasure you can in the here and now. Best wishes.
