LiveWithCancer
about 3 hours agoMostly, I resolved to keep on living my life as much as I possibly could - it was a struggle sometimes to carry on with favorite activities and sometimes I was so tired that it took every bit of strength I had just to walk to the car so my husband could drive me home, but I was determined to not let cancer steal away my life until I breathed my last breath.
And, I thought, "Okay, Lord, here we go... It's in Your hands. Your will be done."
My dad had died of the exact same cancer some years earlier ... and my mom is a worry-wart as was our son. So, just about the first thing my husband and I did was resolve to put a positive spin on my cancer ... "yes, I have been diagnosed with lung cancer, but it's going to be okay ... don't worry." Since that was the spin we decided to put on my diagnosis, I then set about living that attitude so that they wouldn't worry quite as much.
On the other hand, I started cleaning out closets and trying to get things in a little better order so that when I died (which I fully expected to do in six months, just like my dad had), my family would have an easier time cleaning out my junk.
