There is a lot to be said about surrounding oneself with a positive mindset. I'm a firm believer that it's the mind that constitutes our attitudes and values, direction in life as well as not needing the psychological abyss of the black hole of the subconsciousness.A positive mindset will get me through this.As I disclose the details of the 'Big C' to family and friends, I'm even more determined to stay strong. Heck my surgeon, the wonderful Dr M, even make a joke about it."If you want to get skinny, now's the time" he said.As I lead up to the inevitable disclosure of just how much of the Big C I need to prepare for, there are more things I've learnt in the past 48 hours.

  1. By talking matter-of-factly with people who care for you is cathartic. (You know who you are Mrs C.)

  2. Having really short hair will give me an edgy look (mysterious even?)

  3. Asking for a vintage LV scarf  for Christmas is OK.

  4. Keeping busy and getting on with things is important.

  5. Repeat your mantra, special word or whatever higher power in which you have faith, because you'll get through this.

Only with a positive mindset.#cancer sucks #cancer #affirmations #positive #positive thinking #mindset
