Hi Lisa: it is so sweet of you to take the time to write.
I am pleased to have a plan and a date but it is not the reason why my perspective has changed. I am happy you wrote to me as it inspired me to write this long reply about life and my life experience which had helped me to shift my perspective. I copied it and then erased it thinking it might be inappropriate or unhelpful to others. But the interesting thing is it is perhaps the most engaging and thoughtful piece i have ever written.

Anyway, thank you again for your caring and support.

Frank

@franki24, I hope you saved the writing. I sometimes jot down thoughts related to my cancer in my phone's notes app. They can be short entries or lengthier depending on the day. It's nice to look back on them, or on my posts here from years ago. It gives me a perspective of where I was mentally at the time, and how far I've come.
The process of writing can be helpful, even if it's never shared.
