For sure!! Everything is fine. The media exaggerates everything. Mother Nature and Father Time govern all. The sun comes up, seasons change....the rest is small stuff and try not to sweat it.

Is everything going to be okay?Define "everything" and define "okay."

I could tell you "yes," but I would be lying. The truth is much more complex and the future is uncertain. Life is challenging and ever-changing.

My best advice: Take a holistic approach to self-care --physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, educationally, medicinally, medically, and every other helpful -ly that comes to mind. Be positive about being positive.

Life is a journey full of detours, faulty maps, and many roadside attractions; and you're your own driver. Sit back and enjoy the ride. Steer appropriately; apply the brakes gently when needed. Be sure to appreciate the scenery, and stop every once and awhile to smell the roses.

Absolutely. When you are first diagnosed everything about life as you know it suddenly changes, and it takes some getting used to as well as figuring out your "new normal" for lack of a better term. Things may seem dark and bleak (especially if you go through the kind of nightmare I did after diagnosis), but things do eventually end up turning around and getting better. Sooner or later, it almost becomes kind of liberating. Give it time... Things definitely DO get better.

Yes, it will.Have faith.
