Corrine – living with Pelvic Radiation Disease: I try really, really hard to be a positive, happy person. I am glad my treatment meant that cancer didn't kill me. And, most of the time, I turn my attention away from these physical and mental challenges in order to stay positive. But inside, it's very, very hard. And lonely.
