Hi Mike,
I had breast cancer eight years ago and I have to tell you that it was a gift. It taught me more about myself than anything else has. I also had 6 months of chemo and it really wasn't that bad. I would just picture the chemo as healing light going into my veins and I would see the nurses as angels. Never loss my hair and even had a perm in the middle of it. I truly felt like I was being held in the arms of God. Try to get some tapes by Bernie Siegel as they really are awesome in helping you with the process. Just remember that Cancer can open you up to the mysteries of life like nothing else can. We always have a choice and the choice is to see this as an opportunity to grow or as the choice to give up and get depressed. It is not easy but I promise you it is a worthwhile journey that offers lots of growth.
