Since having cancer my personality has changed. I am less tolerant of things. I am a lot more happy to do things for me... I used to put my wife and kids first (not exercise and golf!). I&#39;d like things to go back to the way they were (and I know my wife would!). Am I alone in this and should I just &#39;get over it? Do I need some councelling to help? Should I not just be grateful to be alive? Does anybody else feel this way and how have you worked at getting &#39;back to normal&#39; It&#39;s taken 2 years of burying my head in the sand and now it&#39;s time to tackle it!
