I saw my life turn upside down after hearing what I had. After reading up on this and meeting with other people who had a different hospital experience, I got the information I needed. This changed the way I thought about it.

You then realise that your life will really change, that you must adjust. But you can certainly live with it. There's a lot more you can still do. Enjoy life to the fullest, and get all that you can get out of it. With the support of loved ones, you regain a will to live and a positive outlook. All in all, life's worth the effort. It can go on as usual.
