Fighting Spirit

Many of us feel that keeping up a fight and staying hopeful helps us to cope and stops the disease from slowing us down as much as it could:

“I’m fighting it [accepting my diagnosis]. Deep down I know I’m wrong, but I’m still fighting it.” - Al

“You can keep fighting it.” - Les

“That doesn’t mean I’m going to win .” - Al

“If you can’t cope with it, you’re going to be depressed . You have to keep positive, or you’re going to be crawling under the covers .” - Elizabeth

“I test myself to make sure I can still do things right . I pass, I flunk. But I’m fighting it.” - Al

“You either face it and fight it, or give up.” - Al

“It may be an uphill climb but you just do it anyways .” - Elizabeth

“We are all early -stage and we are all going to be late-stage, but I’m not going to moan and groan on the way there . You have to live your life .” - Sydnee
