At my doctor’s visit when I was diagnosed, I just fell apart and started crying. And my doctor said in a stern voice, I have not told you that you have cancer so you need to realize this is something you can handle. And I stopped crying and decided I will control it, it will not control me. That was 20 years ago. Diagnosed at 50. I exercise, I walk, I’m careful of my steps, I take Fosamax weekly and I am thankful for each day.
So my advice to you, get yourself together and take control. Don’t let it control you.

@ladybugnc that's exactly what I decided to do!!! Every morning when I wake up, I say to myself, "I am not a victim." I'm living my life just like before, only with a bit more awareness. Your advice is great, maybe the best anyone could ever receive!
