one of the things I did that others find difficult was to become totally selfish and I only did things to save myself. I didn't do things to prove anybody wrong. I did things I always wanted to do and it gave me a zest for life. I didn't live for the sake of others. I wanted to live for me and focused on doing things for only me.

'The chemo, radiotherapy and surgery worked for your particular case, and I'm sure your positive attitude and change helped to heal the wounds.'
Yep that's very close to what I said. But I also believe the chemo etc would work for others and they'd survive if they had something selfish to live for. I don't believe in survival being a lottery.

I saw many people just give up during their treatments. I'd assess if I thought people were selfish enough to want to survive before I'd spend time communicating with them. Most people I avoided. I couldn't see them having a reason to live. I avoided the negativity and negative people.

I wasn't so much positive. I just had things I wanted to do. I avoided people and situations that were going nowhere
