It doesn't help me to hear about how someone you know, young and strong, died of breast cancer. It doesn't make my days easier to be reminded that it will be in my 6 month check-up that I will see if any cancer has come back again. My job is to stay as positive and up-beat as possible, and if a little lack of foresight or rosy-thinking accomplishes that, then please leave me to it. I don't need reality-training; I don't even need to be planning ahead.
It seems like I would not have to say this, but apparently I do. I don't want to hear about the bad outcomes. It feels rude of me to tell them that, so, please mention it to others you know that I know. Thanks for your help. And all your help!
It just continually amazes, doesn't it, how clueless people can be?
ReplyDeleteYou've done such a fantastic job of keeping positive. I really admire that about you. Adapting to changing treatments and going at it one step at a time IS a realistic way of looking at it. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteGood for you! As I read the literature, a positive outlook really is the best way you can foster healing, and the only thing any of us are in control of anyway. Other people's outcomes are just gossip - they certainly don't predict what things will be like for you. Congrats on getting through so much already with such a great attitude! Love, Tara
