Closing Thoughts
"Our family has become very close
since I got cancer. I remember
my son said to me, 'Dad, it's all
because of the way you reacted to it.'
I believe him, too. I wasn't bitter.
He wrote a poem for me that said,
'You're embracing your death instead
of running away from it.' And that
was beautiful to me."
- Bill
Living with advanced stage cancer may bring many
challenges and hardships. But it can also be a time of
fulfillment and joy.
As you think about the issues raised in this booklet, keep in
mind that survival statistics are just numbers. The numbers
that really mean the most for any of us are quite different.
They measure the good days, the comfortable nights, and
the hours of happiness and joy. Keep living your life the best
that you can and in the fullest way possible.
"Think only of today, and when tomorrow comes, it
will be today, and we will think about it."
- St. Francis de Sales
