Hang in there, you know it will be a while before you can see your ENT. Be patient and try your best not to let cancer steal your time away from you.
Everytime I start feeling badly about how things are currently, I say someting to myself that snaps me out of it. I tell myself "you have lived thru much worse and are still around to tell about it". Helps me to keep things in perspective.
