Although currently in remission, I never know if and when my cancer will return. Many of you have also been diagnosed with some form of cancer and no matter how you slice it, it isn't easy. Yet, it is important to try to separate the diagnosis from who you are. That being said, how do you do it? Start by thinking how cancer has changed what you do. You may have some limitations, but you can still put the stamp of your personality on what you can do. That is key to survival. Make cancer your servant. Don't let it steal your identity.
Although diagnosed with prostate cancer, I wasn't ready to give up sex. After surgery, it took me awhile to get back to myself, but with hard work, therapy, and a positive attitude, it did happen. I write to help me remember and share, hoping we both get some laughs along the way. AKA ADVENTURES OF A CANCER STUD. I am now writing The Gay Detective. Soon I will link all my blogs together to one spot.
