Sorry, Bronx. That one's a *****. But don't say it was your selfish habits, it's just a bad hand that you gotta play.

Godspeed moving forward. (Internet hug)

bronx, greatly sorry to hear that. As someone who has been getting chemo and other treatment for lung/liver/colon cancer since November, and is scheduled to continue doing so through this November, the best things I can suggest are 1) take every day one-at-a-time and as "normal" as possible, since you never know what tomorrow may bring and 2) surround yourself with some sort of support group, because you're going to need it. Any human would. You are going to have days where you need smacked back to a positive outlook.
