Getting through breast cancer is hard.  It's scary.  I tend to look at things in a little different way than most people do, and I think it helped me and it might just be a tool to add to your arsenal of weapons in this fight as well.

After the tears, I sat back and realized that this was just another passage...a new page , or a path which I hadn't traveled before.  It was...an adventure!  There was a little bit of me which wondered what I was going to look like bald. 

Most importantly, I think that how I looked at my chemotherapy helped quite a bit.  I was first diagnosed in 1994 and received CAF, which was really hard on me.  My mantra was "the sicker I am, the better I'll be because more of the cancer cells are bering killed."  While that isn't the case necessarily, it did help me keep a handle on things and get through it. 

Even in the middle of things, trying to find something positive and holding onto it can help.  I'm not saying it's easy, but I think that it did help me get to the end.  I know that life in chemo is hard.  Living with cancer is hard.  This may not help you, but I thought I'd share it.

I've spent a little longer on it on my blog: 

I wish you well on your journey.
