Minnie,

I told people that it sure is good that I am such a healthy person, else I would never be able to fight two separate cancers in one year. Actually, I don't see what is so funny about it, it is true, isn't it?

I have tried my best to keep a "healthy attitude", and to think of myself as a healthy person with a disease I have to deal with, rather than giving in and being a sick person - even if it was hard when the radiation sickness was at its worst. Fortunately, my family was able to help me there by living their life and giving me stuff to think about that had nothing to do with thrush and brown phlegm.
