At the very beginning of when I was told I had kidney cancer, I was thinking about a million different possibilities, asking myself ‘why?’. I asked my urologist surgeon ‘why’ I got kidney cancer. In a VERY stern voice he said, don’t ever ask yourself that question again!!! He said if they knew that answer they could cure cancer and they haven’t been able to! So…I pass his words of wisdom onto you…you’ll drive yourself crazy questioning ‘why’… so don’t! Stress, anxiety, worry….are not healthy and especially not healthy for our cancer. It’s one of the few things I can control so I don’t!
Easier said than done but for me, it’s become easier over time.
