Totally agree with this - I do yoga once or twice a week. It is cathartic. That and going to the gym almost daily helps me to maintain a sense of normalcy. Cancer is a disease. I will fight it but I won't give it complete power over me. It's a part of me - not who I am. I am aware it's there- I am going to fight it - but I refuse to allow it to make me into a nervous wreck, or fret over it, that requires to much energy. It is what it is - but I won't let it rob me of my joy and the things I enjoy doing.
