I've pondered this mystery. It always strikes me when people say I am strong or that they are amazed at my attitude. I myself am trying to figure out the "secret sauce" behind this so called success. In a nutshell, it's very simple. A combination of positive thinking, gratitude, trust, and to be honest - ignorance.
My surgeon at Sloan Kettering has been completely honest with me and I trust in his knowledge and skill. However, there were many things he did not mention... I have gone through episode after episode after episode thinking, "Ok - this is it. This is the last one. Once I get through this I will be fine." Thank God for what we do not know. And when we do know, for the strength and resolve to get through one more episode, one more day.
I am overwhelmed with gratitude. What Dr. Russo said keeps ringing in my ears, "Hon, you won the lottery". At my worst moments, this is what I think about.
