No, I have always lived each day as it comes, remaining positive about everything, no matter how small.

I have never experienced any change in time through cancer, only taking on a grandchild and that fact made time go quicker. But since my cancer I found peace and don't fear death, my wife who hosted many life threatening conditions feels the same!

Hi everyone,
Some people say that after a cancer diagnosis, time starts to feel… different. Days might pass too slowly during treatment, or blur together in moments of fear, fatigue, or hope. Others say it made them more present, or more impatient, or simply more aware of the passing weeks and months.
