I was first diagnosed in 2002. I then had a relapse in 2007 a month before my wedding. I almost called it off thinking that was it for me, but she wouldn't let me. I've been cancer free since 2012. I did manage to work through both sets of treatments and live my normal life. I think everyone handles the treatments differently but having something to keep your mind off what your going through really helps. Your mind can go to a dark place if you're not careful.
Where are you located. I'm in Toronto and the only good thing I can say about living here was I got top notch treatment.
