I have wondered the same thing. But it has been over 1 year for me and despite many days of thinking I would not get through it, I have. I don’t know what surprises wait for me tomorrow but I hope they are good ones! I have days that aren’t so good mentally or physically. I think we should be allowed to have those days. What we have stinks. I try not to let those days stretch on for too many in a row but with mixed success. I try hard to remember that I have today. When I was first given my diagnosis, they told me is was very possible I would not see last Christmas. I hope Dr. Kauh has something positive for you.
