I was diagnosed and treated for endometrial cancer five years ago. One of the good things (yes, there are good consequences of cancer) is that life becomes more. More real, more alive. Small things, like autumn colors and children's giggles are richer and lovelier. If you can keep a positive attitude (and it sounds like your husband is going to be a great support!), life can be wonderful!

I'm often told how brave I am, how cheerful I am. I can't change the cancer. I can't stop it, though I'm fighting it with every tool in the doctors' toolkit. What I can change is what I do with the rest of my life. You go, gurl!
