Thank you for this comment. I appreciate a positive attitude, and am typically a glass half full type of person. However, I found myself resenting the directive to stay positive from so many people, in regards to my cancer journey. I found it to be unhelpful, & added pressure that I didn’t need. There are not only two options, but I couldn’t name what I was feeling. Thank you for doing that for me; realist. I am thankful for the great medical team I have, my supportive family & friends. At the same time, I am sad for the things I have lost, the daily struggles, pain, & sometimes that gets me down. Realistic seems to be the healthiest option.
