I agree it's the gloom and doom surrounding the diagnosis that makes it worse than it is. In retrospect it all feels like a bad dream. I am grateful my diagnosis was at an early stage. I know it's possible it will be back, but I am not waiting for it. I don't call myself a survivor or a fighter. It was a journey that taught me lessons on acceptance and turn inwards for self-care. It's given me a new perspective on living in the present and enjoying this beautiful life with its ups and downs.

Thanks for sharing this positive perspective.
