Your question is a good one, its one we all think of. I do everyday. All I can say is that it has stopped me from being a procrastinator. I dont put things off for tomorrow anymore, I know tomorrow I might not feel up to whatever I was putting off. I also try to have a positive attitude and more patience towards others. I consider myself very lucky even though I struggle daily with the after effects of cancer. Im still here and try to make the most of everyday.
