cancer grief life-is
They have - they do still hit me occasionally, and it's an overwhelming grief for what - even though my life is so good now, even including going through treatment for cancer, my life is incredible.
years age looks
Over the last few years, my comfort level with how I look has improved. My age has helped. You get used to yourself and accept yourself.
loss life-is mourn
And yet, I suppose you mourn the loss or the death of what you thought your life was, even if you find your life is better after. You mourn the future that you thought you'd planned.
mammograms urges
And I would urge all women to have that regular mammogram.
cancer thinking color
But when this happens to you - and I think other people would identify with this - suddenly, colors are brighter. You see everything.
grateful two years
And so I was very grateful that I didn't do the British stiff upper lip, but I went straight to a therapist. And she was wonderful and helpful, and I went for about two years.
fog mountain sides
There were times after my marriage ended where, you know, I really felt like I was at the bottom of a mountain, there was a great big, fog up there, and I'm never going to cross to the other side.
marriage years want
I don't want marriage. You know why? Because I did that. I did it for 32 years.
sports television want
I don't want to have to say, Honey, you know, could you turn off the sports channel because I'm not a big sports fan, and I don't love the television being on just for the sake of turning on. I'd like turning on for some thing specific.
book reading names
I'm also doing constant book readings, movies. You name it, I'm doing it.
thrill able different
So I - the thought that I would physically be different was - it's not a thrill, I have to tell you. It's kind of - it brings you up short. But I was able to look at it right away.
country order issues
I did become American citizen in order to vote. I lived in this country for a very long time and I finally reached the point where I thought, I'm often sticking my neck out on various issues as all human beings have a right to do.
believe hands i-believe
I believe I have lots of time. I have to believe that, that it won't come back, and that that's why I'm in good hands. But I also do live my life by putting nothing off.
years disease lasts
He had Parkinson's disease for about, I'd say diagnosed for about 11 of the last years of his life. And treatment was not as good as it is now, of course. We're still going along and he died in '85 and he was 77.
