Since being diagnosed with cancer, I’ve learned that you should live each day to the fullest. No one is guaranteed tomorrow. So far, I am lucky since I am coming up on my one-year anniversary since my final treatment. I am grateful for all the support I have received from my wife, friends, and family.
I have always been a spiritual woman, but now I take time each day to be grateful for the people and things in my life. I want to see the world and just smell the coffee as the saying goes. I think that everyone needs to slow down a bit and take a moment to enjoy all the accomplishments you work so hard to achieve. I am still a fierce advocate that you should always seek out the best professionals in health care. The doctors, nurses and support staff at Yale are the best! I can’t imagine going through this without them.
