Two years ago our lives were forever disrupted when my son was diagnosed with a rare aggressive abdominal sarcoma. In order to cope with each horrifying day I learned how to live 'within the box'. Looking into the future, even two or three months was far too painful emotionally for me. So I put my mind into the box and coped with each day as it arrived. I would look at my son's face and see such beauty there. I would enjoy his company, and talk, talk, talk with him. And we got to really know each other. These last few years I have grown closer to my son than I ever would have if he had not had cancer. He has been such a gift.
So, I try to focus on the present and living the moment each day. I dred the passing of time and some days are more difficult than others, especially if I allow myself to think of the future. So, I chase the fear away pretty much daily, and just enjoy every single second that I can manage.
I try not to worry about what might happen and always concentrate on what is happening right now. My son is here. To me his great strength and philosophy for living is amazing. He has excellent quality of life, he is asymptomatic, and he is living strong each day. And that is all that we can hope for. Live in the moment, and deal with whatever the future brings when that time arrives.
Stay strong in mind and spirit and cherish every day with those you love!

I try to plan for the future but i just end up being frustrated since things just don't always go my way. So i just end up taking life as it comes and it's fun this way!

I plan for the future a little bit, but be flexible about it. I mean, if two years from now, I am not at where I think I would, I'd be okay with it. I'm more kinda like think a bit about tomorrow, but live for today about 99%.

I try to plan for the future, but nothing that can't be changed relatively easily. I like to have some idea of what the future will hold.

I like to TRY and plan, but things just seem to work out different than I plan most of the time, so I've learned to just take it as it comes.

I lived day to day before I got married and had children, but now I plan for my future. We never know what could happen, so we always want to make sure our children are taken care of.

Planing for the future is a good idea and I always do.
I also know that my plans will not always go as I want them so deal with what is and keep trying.
