As far as a gift list, I have to copy a few of yours. <br> Here are a few: teaches you how to be an advocate and stand up for yourself; teaches you to stop sweating the small stuff and focusing on what&apos;s important; allows you to identify your true support system of friends/family; and gives you the mission of sharing what you have learned and empathizing with others. All the best, Susan</p>

   <p>The gifts that my run in with blood cancer along with 2 bouts of aggressive prostate cancer have been <br> - Learned to live in the present. Yesterday is the past and gone. Tomorrow is not here yet <br> - Learned that worry does not cure anything but a positive attitude sure feels good <br> - Learned to look for the opportunities that surround me every day vs going on a journey to seek them out. It is often the missed opportunities that offer us real value <br> <br> That is my list - and loved yours <br> <br> ... Dennis(blood-cancer.com Team)</p>

   <p><inline-mention user-id="3651245" username="Racheli Alkobey"/> yes cancer has given me lots of gifts as well. I have learned to eat in a healthier way, I exercise more, I try to help others, I look for the good and try to have more patience. Like you I find new presents often. I&apos;d rather not be living with cancer, but if I do, then at least I can embrace what I have at this moment. Thanks for sharing.</p>
