Cancer and the Internet

I have made a conscious decision not to research cancer or breast cancer on the internet.  When I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia this summer I made the mistake of investigating it on the internet.  The more I read the more depressed I became.  There seemed to be no hope for ever feeling good again.  Well, I’m here to tell you that that is not true.  With medication and exercise I have been able to get my Fibro down to a reasonable level of control.

I am relying on the doctors to tell me what I need to know about cancer.  I have had several people suggest support groups to me, but I know that is not for me.  I don’t want to sit and listen to horror stories and get more and more afraid of what is to come for me.  I also don’t want to dwell on this.  I have decided that I will be positive and happy through out this no matter what.  That is not to say that I don’t break down and cry once in awhile.  I am not denying my feelings, I just choose to be happy.  Happiness is a choice.   You either are or you’re not.

Luckily I have found a few casual  friends that have had breast cancer and/or other kinds of cancer.   They have all been very encouraging and the fact that they are still here on this earth to talk to is a good sign.  ha
