Advice that I would give anybody for any cancer is find that oncologist and that doctor that
you can trust, that you like, that you can ask questions, that are not belittling or
berating, I have seen plenty of that and not be afraid to get a second opinion that also
not on the cancer may be itself, but that is what it is, but may be on the course of
treatment, it doesn't hurt to go see other people, but you just gotta like your doctor
and you got to be able to communicate with him or her all your problems. The other side
of it is, I never thought about dying. It was never on my DNA, if you will that this
was going to happen. Once my wife and I maybe had that conversation, but it was never something
we are going to let happen, so I think positive attitude and I don't mean positive like, "I
am going to get through the day," no, I mean just go, "I got stuff to do today and nothing
of any of that stuff has to do with cancer." My day is, I am going to pick up my kid, I
am going to go to the grocery store, I am going to pay this bill, and I am going to
go work, everything else that is a normal day and I think that helps a lot to get through
everything.
