Don't live in fear!

I was reading a publication that I received from Dana-Farber. One of the articles was an interview with Joyce Kulhawik - a local TV reporter and a cancer survivor. She made some wonderful comments among them the one above as she stated that she never did live in fear. A few other comments "There is a tremendous amount of love and support out there and you don't know until you really need it. I'm so glad that I let prople in. I needed them, and they needed to help" and "The things that you start to feel grateful for are amazing. It's something I never forget".

How true!

It's great to read articles like this and see that others who have walked your walk feel the same way that you do. I have heard and read so many negative things concerning people who suffer from cancer that it's great to see that someone who maintains the same positive attitude that I strive to do is doing so well.

It's not all about attitude - but it certainly helps. Always look at the bright side. Having undergone this experience has allowed me to see the good inside of so many people. Normally, this is something that I would never have had the opportunity to experience. Your thoughtfulness and caring are priceless. Please keep it up.

My contribution has been that I can confidently say that I have never lived in fear...
