Beautiful, the power of gratitude

What a lovely post , though sad ..... If only a beautiful , positive attitude with heartfelt  gratitude for the most important parts of life were a cure for cancer ? Bless you and your family xx

Sunflowers, what a beautiful lines. I tell my wife the same, without your candor, of course, but the same meaning.

You echo the thoughts I try so hard to concentrate on with regard to my wife and the life wed had together. It is comforting to know that other feel the same and although the "luck" is bad you have the strength to appreciate all you have had together...the news is very hard as is the end result but having had such a wonderful relationship and shared such a fantastic life together is subsequently why the pain is so great. Your words will no doubt help countless others.

Thank you for all the lovely comments we are five months on from my post and continue to feel lucky. Best wishes to you all.

This is such a beautiful way to confirm what life is actually about, congratulations and thank you for being able to covey such wonderful thinking. 

Isn't it a strange parallel that the diagnosis of this disease unlocks the privilege of chrystalising everything that matters?

With every good wish.  x

Lucky that I now know my end which makes every day now a joy, free of the fear of the unknown. It’s almost a relief. Are we truly the lucky ones? I think so.

May God bless you all..

My feelings are the same. I feel that my cancer made my reations with people stronger. I am lucky to have a wonderful friends and small but truly devoted family. More over I met and meet special people every day. I believe in people and see human beings. I appreciate what people give me and never give revenge for harm. I believe making good is leaving good trace on life path. I can see it even more clearly now. Perhaps some will say I am naive but I believe this is right. Leaving no harm but good is always coming back to you in positive way. 

If somebody will ask if I could give my cancer to somebody else would I do it? No. Because why would I put somebody else in suffer? I am the same human being not better than any other person. Perhaps there was a reason for me to go through this. Like to meet all of these people. And you guys..

Appreciating more what I've got.

Thank you all for being here xxx

Wonderful words,bless you.

No Tiga, you’re not naive. I’m not a religious man but there’s no doubt that being told you have cancer changes the rest of your life. Yes we suffer, and from what I’ve seen so far there are many who have suffered far more than me, but I believe we can be better for it. We see things differently, we have a different perspective on things & people. We appreciate more what we have and those who are close to us although I have to say that chemo changed me into a not very nice person, especially to those closest to me, my wife in particular. At times I was unappreciative, argumentative, down right nasty. Now 2 months after chemo I appreciate every moment with her & love her to bits and I show it as much as I can. 

No of course cancer is not something you would ever want to give to someone else, this is s large enough club as it is.

As to the reason for having cancer? For me it’s just bad luck but with hidden benefits.

Good luck to all going through this. I hope your suffering is not too great.
