What's the best way to cope with a cancer diagnosis?

The best way to cope with a cancer diagnosis is hard, I don't know that you ever get over it because you feel like your body has betrayed you and let you down. But you do the treatment that the doctor requires you to do, and it doesn't hurt to get a second opinion, or third opinion. And I think for all of us, none of us know what's going to happen. And that was reassuring to me when I was going through cancer, when I had the cancer diagnosis. I think, just on the news around that time, someone had been in their living room and a truck came into their living room, and I remember thinking who knows for any of us how long we have. So the important lesson when dealing with a cancer diagnosis is just to enjoy every day.
