Hi OboePrince,
I think you mistook my intention just now, I meant no such implication, nor did I take your message as such. Young tongues are meant to be just that, young. So please talk freely, I took no offense whatsoever.
I did want to show a different perspective, that being a survivor of cancer is not an achievement of my own doing. I even wonder if it is an achievement of my doctors, as they (10 doctors maybe?) collectively didn't know what would be the outcome. It was a feast of statistics as I call it. I felt like an experiment at times.
What sets cancer apart from most maladies, is that it can kill you, and will if it isn't treated. But I'll be the first to admit that you can be worse off if you lose an arm or a leg, or in your case your hand injury. Though many do not escape cancer completely unscaved, many are able to pick up life and continue to do the things still as they are used to.
So again, thanks for your support, and I hope you can see that I'm trying my best to not come across as condescending or an expert of any sorts. That would be so opposite from my intention, but this being so difficult a topic....
