| CHANGE OF LIFE It seems as though I am constantly going through changes in my life. Just in the year 2004 and it is only half over, I have had surgery for a lipoma, been diagnosed with Parikinson's Disease and then gamma knife surgery for a tumor on my brain. Am I discouraged? Not now. I have dealt with each new problem as it has happened and look forward to each new day. I am now a five year survivor of breast cancer so that is a "notch in my belt". I am enjoying my life and each day I find something exciting and interesting to do. Why am I writing this? I know that there are people out there who are fiinding out that they have new health problems. For those people, I would like to say, "cry a bit if you must, then look for a solution. Find a doctor you trust and do your best to survive. Don't stay home and have a "pity party", that won't solve anything. Instead be involved in your own survival. You won't be sorry you did." |
