I recall feeling like a road train had ran over me when I got told I had lymphoma (non-hodgkin) - the Haemotologist came in specially on a Sunday to deliver the news. The whole ward knew something was up then. The news just got worse as more test results came in... Not one type of lymphoma but two etc. I took your attitude - I didn't bother getting all involved with the whys and what - I just started doing whatever I could to fight it. No matter how small or seemingly easy. Go You.
