Guest guest Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 O.K. , I withdraw your name from the nominations. Yes, I, too have been told that I would die of something else before I died of CML. When I went for a second opinion, that is what I was told and was insulted when the doctor said I had the best kind of cancer (the " good " kind) and would probably die in my sleep. How dare anyone take something so serious so casually. I was not amused, but as time emerged, I found out that she was probably right, it was her expression that did not rest easy with me at the time. I suppose she was trying to make light of the subject, since my eyes were still red from crying from the first opinion. LOL If ever I had a one-two punch, this was it. You are in denial, it can't be you, you keep telling yourself. A second opinion for CML, how rich is that, faulty equipment maybe or a bad day at Big Bad Rock? I have put all that behind me long ago and just live from day to day. No day is really good, but certainly better than the bad days. I try to get the most of every day. I no longer have knee-jerk reactions to every blip, instead I tried to replace it with knowledge and a sense of humor. When a doctor recently told me I could die at any time, I smiled and asked if I had time to get to the lab. My condition has since improved, so I think there is no reason to freak out. When I see some results that are troubling, I just shrug, there is not much I can do about it anyway. It is what it is. You seem to have everything in order and enjoying life the best as you can, as it should be. You make a good renegade, riding the running boards on a Model-T. LOL Carpe Diem, Lottie Duthu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 You have said it better than I could. Thanks. It was a long road for me to " turn loose and let go of the stuff I had absolutely no control of. It is what it is and only involve yourself if you can make a difference. I have really ridden the running board of a Motel and loved riding a in rumble seat too. I think that was a Packard coup with a teenage driver. What fun those olden days were when you had to get out of the house between meal times so you weren't under someone's feet. H. > > O.K. , I withdraw your name from the nominations.
