One of the things that I started to say very early on in my metastatic diagnosis was that it's treatment for life, but not a life sentence. But cancer completely upends your life because not only do you have to carry on being a person, you also suddenly almost need to have a medical degree to understand your diagnosis, which treatments and drugs are available to you, and what you can do to help your treatment. I wasn't into walking and hiking as much before my diagnosis, but I've found it's a fantastic way to clear my head and just put things into perspective, especially if I've had a change in my diagnosis — good or bad.
