To quote that amazing song, "First I was afraid, I was petrified" but it goes on to say "I will survive."
Survivorship, that's what it is called when we get past treatment and sometimes that feels like an amazing thing. I mean, when you have been through a life changing event and come out the other side, faced death in the face and walked on the to have survived is no mean accomplishment. Other days though, and there are days when it feels like I'm just about hanging in there, just about surviving.
So, there has to be more to surviving than acknowledging the path walked, the journey thus far. Surely surviving must turn to thriving at some point.
Maybe it is just me but I really want more than to just survive, I want to thrive.
