The message is simple. 

It's the feeling any cancer patient or anyone impacted by cancer will think.

This is the story of Jane.  "I went to a yoga session in October 2011 (when I was 31) and then in the following days I felt pain in my right side. I thought perhaps I had pulled a muscle but after a few days, the pain got sharper so I went to a GP. A mass in my pelvic area was identified measuring 18cm x 16cm x 10cm. The GP said that it was most likely a cyst and an ultrasound was ordered. The results of the ultrasound suggested a fibroid, a mass that is often benign. At this point I called my mum, not having any family in Melbourne, she immediately booked a flight over from Adelaide and we started the process of arranging surgery with a gynaecological surgeon. I got an MRI done the following day and surgery was scheduled. However a couple of days before the scheduled operation, the surgeon called and told me that the surgery was cancelled. The MRI scan revealed that an oncologist was required as it may be cancerous." To continue reading Jane's Story, follow the link below. http://bit.ly/1iP3z99

What's your secret? How do you choose to be positive over bitter in life, and were you always so positive? (btw, I love your blog)

i choose to be positive because life’s too short to be anything but happy! there’s no secret, i’m just grateful for each day and all of the beautiful things in life :~)
