This has a particular resonance for me. After my breast cancer treatment ended, I vowed to simplify my life and get rid of those people and things that I felt didn’t serve me anymore. You’ve changed since you got cancer is what I have been told and not always for the better! I used to feel a bit guilty about this but reading these words today made me realize that it’s their problem if they feel that way – not mine. I am no longer the put upon, do anything for you girl I used to be and I am glad about that, even if certain people aren’t!

So very poignant for all of us who are obliged to “change” in order to metamorphose into a better way of living which suits us, and not those whose needs we used to pander to.

Marie, this is exactly what I needed today! And I agree. My diagnosis was almost 5 years ago, but it’s taken me until the past year to really begin making some big changes for the better. Slowly but surely, my middle name is no longer ‘doormat’. I guess that’s one gift I got out of cancer!
