I was cancer-free after surgery, but protocol still called for both chemo and radiation. Humor helped me a lot - mine and my doctors and nurses.

Feel what you feel. Don't let anyone tell you that you need to feel anything otherwise.

Do be good to yourself. It's not selfish to be centered on your own well-being now.
