NY Times Health Article

A friend sent me this article from the NY Times health section. You will need to register to read it (it's a free registration), but it is worth the read regardless.

One quote that stood out in the article was:

"What you often see is people use something like cancer as an opportunity to discover value in their lives, and meaning," Dr. Taylor said. "They reorder their priorities. They focus on relationships more. Control and optimism shift to things that can be dealt with."

I have seen this in every survivor I have spoken with and in my own life. It is how we cope with the anxiety of the future.
