Agreed - I know the feeling of not wanting to give up your life to this disease - so I compartmentalize - I do what I have to - there are certain things you have to do that normally aren't part of your routine - but I work them into my day get them over with then go on living my life. - even when I was in rads - I would do my treatments then i would do something for me if I felt up to it!! Like go to whole foods, shop a little, drop by my favorite vegan restaurant. So you get it over with then reward yourself. GOod luck! Hopefuly he does the treatments.
