Hi everyone,
How are you today?
Often times when diagnosed with chronic and terminal illnesses we are constantly reminded of mortality but this can leave patients with even more stress and anxiety. They feel the pressure to "live life to the fullest" all the time or to "have the best day every day." Whether have you have received this new in particular or not, you may still have thought about it through your diagnosis.
What do you think? Do you think it is helpful to know your life expectancy? Does it change your outlook? Has having cancer changed how you approach life?
I'll tag a few members to get the conversation started.
