Sandy, life after cancer is a whole different world. I refuse to spend my life looking backwards. It would only lead me down a path to become miserable. Eventually I surely would turn into a raving lunatic thinking about what I used to look like and my former life! I choose to look forward and live in the here and now without regrets. Nobody can ever go back and change the past anyway, so why continue to be concerned about what already happened? Guess Im just more a "glass half full" type person.

Thanks for sharing your history. Maybe focusing on the good things in your life would help you to look forward. The "new normal" isnt always easy but its a heck of alot better than the alternative.
