I am so glad you didn't think I was absolutely nuts by saying I considered getting a secondary illness was in some way relief, I hate to hear that you can relate because your mom went through chemo. I do hope she is ok.. I don't know anymore if I am strong or just stubborn, never have I considered myself as a strong person considering the fact that I have had many times where I break down and have small pity parties for myself ( something only few see) I guess maybe after I am done crying and asking "why me", I get back up, dry off the tears and keep going, maybe that does make me strong...
A strong person needs to have those little moments, you cant carry on through this without shedding a few tears, you feel a whole lot better when you let it all out. And you know what? You'v got the courage to continue, and get back up.
So Of course that makes you strong, its not making you any weaker, is it? And you know what, maybe stubborn is a good thing, your not willing to give up and you wont give up...
