Cyndi, You sound like you are already well on your way to enjoying each day. Something that helped me at the beginning was when my Dr told me to take 15 minutes out of every day if I had to and cry, rant, feel sorry for myself and whatever other negative emotion and then get on with my day after that 15 minutes. I didn't need to do that but I did learn to "compartmentalize" the feelings in a way that they don't dominate my thoughts. Don't get me wrong, I have bad days too, but if you try to get into the habit of thinking like this then you will enjoy each day to the fullest, and on a whole new level. One thing I have learned is that there are ups and downs in this and when you are in remission you take advantage of that and when you're not, you make the most of that too. Karen

HI Cyndi, I forgot to mention on my post the other day to not let the stats consume you. You are an individual and nobody, even the Drs, don't know how long anyone is going to live. There are some stage 4 survivors that live a long time. My personal motto is that it is the quality of time and what we do with it,(often the simple things) that matters, not the quantity. All each of us has, sick or healthy, is today and thats all we can live at one time. Take each day as it comes and before you know it that will have turned into years. Karen
