It's quite amazing how so many people say things like 'I bet you look at life differently now?' or 'having cancer puts life into perspective' and yes I agree this does happen. It is certainly true that the way you see things alters. Enjoying the simple things in life and embracing the moment - all of that for sure. But really I would say, being up beat and positive has really helped me, people who are glum and miserable, I confess, really annoy me. I know I should try to be tolerant and non-judgemental but hearing people winging irritates me so much more than before. The classic modern phrase 'I am tired..' absolutely winds me up... I think back to having chemo and the immense fatigue ... that's being tired. Why people opt to moan and winge about nothing makes no sense - is it a British thing or what?
I know that I am very lucky that my treatment has worked, but for me it has only fully worked if I embrace life, use my energy in positive ways, laugh a lot and seek to feel happy with my lot!
