4 years ago, i was told i was terminally ill, and had less than 5 years to live. it was the best thing that ever happened to me.

i am really healthy now, and that experience has taught me alot, mostly to sieze the day.

the initial shock though must of been the hardest thing for you to hear and for your family..

sorry to hear you had such bad news,

sorry to hear you had such bad news,

you spend two or three days really sad, depressed, scared, but then you just start taking every day as a gift. i woke up, gave up pot smoking, started living my life the way i wanted to. i pierced my nose, took up belly dancing and horseback riding. i went to alaska, because it was somewhere i alwyas wanted to go. i went to spain, and i went to cyprus (and i hope to return to CY).
i am thinking about taking music lessons next.
these are all things i never would have done if i thought i would live to a ripe old age.

my family didn't know about it, and when i told them, it didn't change anything. they still didn't care. which is why i never told them at first.

i would like to get married someday, but i am not sure that is in the cards for me.

BTW, the docotrs told me i was not going to die anytime soon from my disease on dec. 23rd. it was the best christmas present ever! but being told i was terminal was even better, believe it or not. you have to be there to understand that one.

i am fortunate enough to have been in randy pausch's shoes, and even more fortunate to know that i am in remission. although my health issues were with my lungs, as long as i continue to take care of them as i have, i should live to a ripe old age.
Randy is still alive, and i think his lecture was very well said, and a benefit to everyone. may we all learn from it, expecially those who bicker over "minor" problems. as Randy said in his lecture, there are no bad people, just wait long enough and everyone will show a good side. i have known all along that CC was a good person, it took me awhile to realize that Phoenix/Oracle is also a good person. someday i hope the two of them can mend their differences and realize this as well.

You are an inspiration.

A close family member of mine is going through Chemo right now and she just had her head shaved by a best friend while they were getting p***ed! This is her second time. A great way to do things!
