Let me say it again -- you don't know yet whether you have cancer, so you may be assuming something that doesn't exist. Even if you do end up with a cancer diagnosis, you know there are many of us here who have been through the experience and want to help you through it. Don't presume that life is worse afterward. I can't begin to list the many ways that my life has improved in the almost 16 years since my treatment, and my long-term side effects are so minor that they're barely worth mentioning. Focus on a day at a time, and if it turns out you need our help, we are here.
