And I discovered that was a lot harder than I thought because physically I felt all right.

But all I could think about was what if it comes back?

And

For like all cancer patients, I just had to go get an x-ray every three months.

And I just spent three months sitting around going, what if it comes back?

What if I don't live till I'm 30?

What if I never get married?

Do any of these things I thought I was going to do?

And I just got so stressed out.

I was completely overwhelmed.

And then I read an article about a British academic called Dr. Derek Roger.

And for 30 years, him and his team had been studying the question, why is it when you put two people in the same high pressure situation, one might get stressed and one doesn't?

And I thought, my God, I'm the stressed person he's describing.

So we ended up meeting up with him and he taught me everything he had learned.

He said, I can't help you with the cancer, but here's what to do about your stress.

And so I did everything he told me and my stress level just started dropping from 10 out of 10, which was where it was on the measure when we started.

And it just kept going down and down and down.

It went all the way to zero, which is where it is now.

And the eventful thing for me is the cancer came back again three years after that, but the stress wasn't there.

So it was the same event, but the response was very different.
