Anyone feel the same way?Most people don't know how to react to cancer.  As a 2 time thyroid cancer survivor I know what you mean.  Yes, one of these days we will die but what matters is that we live each day like it's our last.  My husband and I have learned from my second surgery that life is too precious to be stuck in denial, hate and all those negative ways.  It's better to live a positive life no matter what happens.  We strive each day to make life worth living.  I know I get tons of e-mail angels but find comfort in them instead.  Right now, most of my communications are through e-mail. May you find peace within yourself.  Take Care & God Bless.Aloha, Paulette   Aloha Wahine Thu, 09 Aug 2007 00:00:00 GMT
