Live in the Moment, you got it, now Recover from it,
You break an arm, you Live to recover from it,
You have the flu, you Live to recover from it,
You have cancer, you Live to Recover From It.
DEAL with it, there's really nothing else you CAN do.
LIFE, is What It's All About, Live It.
Deal With It, It's What We Do.
No aspect of cancer/Treatment/therapy is as bad as dying from it.
Deal With It, Manage it, Live Life the best you are able, whatever your condition, Dying is Certain, Why Cooperate with IT?
Fight IT, It's really all you have.
GOD bless Us All.
69yo male, Steam Engineer, Me=4,SCC=0, loving wife, living life as it comes (no other option)
We are all born from Mother, but live and die alone.
Make the best of it, Mommie did all she could, daddy was just a guidance councelor, the rest is ALL up to you.
...and now, 3rd occurance: Surgery 5/1/12
