Once again, emotions ran strong and took over for a while. It wasn't the shock and sheer terror that followed diagnosis, this time I had an overwhelming 'angry at the world' feeling because my treatment was letting me down. Instinctively, for the next few weeks, I let the anger run its course, until it and other repressed emotions were expelled. Once again, Bernie Siegel's question, 'do I want to live?' had to be examined and answered within myself. I recommitted to health.
A big THANK YOU to Mom and my family for putting up with me through the emotional cancer craziness. I recently found a blog post that best sums up what it is like to have cancer. It is written by a chemo nurse who was diagnosed with colon cancer. Here is a link: https://herecomesthesun927.com/2016/11/14/dear-every-cancer-patient-i-ever-took-care-of-im-sorry-i-didnt-get-it/
