Thanks for this valuable post. I'm also going to check out the video embedded in the article about radical acceptance. I recently read a blog entry by a poet who said the way she found peace during cancer treatment was to accept the unacceptable. Keep at it!

Yes, some people going through long term cancer/ chemotherapy treatments are able to accept the unacceptable and are just grateful for each and everyday they have remaining.
it is up to us, with the assistance and support of others in how we will continue to go forward.
