Not everything we lose is bad. Such a significant change like cancer can also help you lose a few other things. You could lose your pride and your insistence that you do things yourself. Your need for others could strengthen your relationships with them. You could lose your illusions, which can only help you build your Future. You could lose your pettiness and some stress. After all, what does it matter if the neighbor’s dog goes on your lawn? Compared to cancer, that’s nothing. You could lose your trepidation and fear. Perhaps you’ve always wanted to try something new but were afraid. Well, now you remember that you don’t have all the time in the world, and you get off your butt and do it. Also, since cancer shook you up, maybe you want to shake up yourself a bit, lose your complacency and your predictability. There is no need to go back to the exact same life you had before cancer unless that is what you wanted to do.
Cancer can provide you with an opportunity. I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy, but if you have to have cancer anyway, why not make the best of it?
