I was so inspired by this woman nicknamed "ShoppingKharma" with end-stage ovarian cancer, I wrote about her last month. She could die any day, but check out her attitude!
Now, she's doing well enough that she may have to move *off* hospice!
When someone's still alive, we say they're "still kicking"; she is still kicking up her heels and dancing.
This is her update but also her advice to cancer survivors who are done with treatment but may be anxious about cancer's return:

If you know someone in this situation, please pass along this advice.
Here's her blog: http://shoppingkharma.blogspot.com/
When I grow up, I want to be like her ...
In Eight Steps to Happiness Geshe-la says "'Self' and 'other' are relative terms, rather like 'this mountain' and 'that mountain ... 'This' and 'that' therefore depend upon our point of reference. This is also true of self and other. By climbing down the mountain of self, it is possible to ascend the mountain of other, and thereby cherish others as much as we presently cherish ourself."
