Does anyone feel cancer has made them wise?

[Cisco99]

I sure don't.

Good question Nal

I was asked to step away for a day. Smell the flowers.

Asked but not deleted? That’s pretty good. 😂

[Cisco99 in reply to Hidden]

I'm sittin' on top of the world!

My "remission" appears to be at an end. So, I've been pretty hyper. I don't want to go down the funnel. (Will find out more today, maybe.)

[Hidden in reply to Cisco99]

Good luck.

Maybe in the sense that priorities are brought into focus. We mold and simplify in order to endure whatever comes our way . and that tolerance for bs and stress is greatly shortened ..Pc will humble the strongest amongst us.

Not necessarily wise but it sure has changed the way I approach my life and it has made me realize what things are really important. This has been one of the positive aspects of my stage IV diagnosis.

I now place a high priority on spending time with family and friends. I have re-established relationships with people who had drifted away in recent years. I realized that getting ahead in my career isn't important any more ... so much so that I took early retirement with a reduction in income. I spend more time focused on healthy living. I don't put off doing fun things that I have always wanted to do including travel.

I can honestly say that, other than the ADT / chemo side effects, this past year has been one of the best in my life!

Wow -- thank you MarkBC. "I'll have what he's having."

Yes, looking back I feel like I was living half asleep. Each day was just another day on autopilot.

Since I was diagnosed I appreciate each day. I have examined my life and feel psychologically free.
