Lucky

I was sitting thinking last night.
A few times lately, when I have been talking to various people about how my chemo had worked so well for me, I had said "I feel so lucky".  These people, not in a bad way, said "well I wouldn't use the word lucky as you are terminally ill with cancer".  Yes that's true, it is totally shite, and was certainly not the best news I have ever had in my life (understatement), BUT, I do feel lucky to have had this extra time, feeling reasonably well most of the time, with my family and friends. 
Yes cancer still sucks, but its the hand I have been dealt in this life, and I just have to get on with it as best I can.
