My family, friends and job have also been a great support system. When you are going through this type of condition, or any type of condition you will always need a strong support system. Working out also seems to help me out physically and emotionally. I believe that it is important to try and stay active if you are able too during this process. This summer it will be 2 years that I will be living with cancer (unless that miracle comes along) and I am glad that things have not gotten worse. I will continue to cherish every moment of my life and celebrate everything. I have also learned that I must put myself first and get rest, which are 2 things that I never seemed to do prior to this. Cancer is like a rollercoaster; you must learn to deal with it one day at a time.
