David, thanks for putting this into perspective. Whenever I start feeling down about my struggles with recovery, I try to think Im one of the lucky ones. The "why me" never got to me, it was the frustration of not returning to the old me that is most bothersome. Sometimes it takes reading a few posts here to remember how bad this cancer is and how lucky I am. Charm, thank you for posting this.
