my condolences.

don't let yourself become depressed over this. don't become a victim of learned helplessness. sometimes the difference between those who survive and those who don't is the level of morale they have.

it is easier said than done, but you gotta live your life to the fullest. consider this a wakeup call to do all the things you wanted to do. this could be a positive experience (and please don't find that insensitive, because i understand what you're going through--several people i know, including my mother have cancer).

don't be discouraged.
