Thanks Annette for this eloquent explanation of the process that is so important for anyone with a cancer diagnosis. Most people have no idea how to respond to, or support, someone with cancer, and far too many say things that perpetuate the idea of someone with cancer being a victim. Others put too much focus on finding a "cure" while ignoring the human being in need right beside them. It really is up to us, as cancer survivors, to get our own clear vision of where we are going and then help bring others along with us on the journey. Take care, Pat
