"It's a lonely road"...
"The more you don't release your emotions, the more it depresses you"...
"It's the uncertainty; you don't have the security of seeing doctors and nurses who mkae you feel secure"..
"You don't get over it (cancer), you find a way to live with it"... "You adjust to a different version of you"
