[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 1175890, member: 88961"] Shortly after diagnosis I pondered as you are doing now for all of 5 minutes. Trust me, it's not that I didn't or don't care. I was totally asymptomatic with, but diagnosed following a routine test, "whilst I was attending the surgery for something else. I was bewildered. To be honest the reason I pondered so briefly was that whenever I metaphorically "flipped the switch", there was absolute nothing I could do to change it or to prevent it having happened. The only thing I could do was work on the future, to make it better than it could have been. I urge you to forget about worrying about when you tripped your own personal switch. Life is too short, and tends to be too busy to invest in something guaranteeing no return for that investment. Look to the future, and do what you can to influence how it turns out. You'll be fine. :) [/QUOTE]
