Cancer just seems to slap us in the face with our mortality. How can one see the good in this? It is definitely hard but we can do it and we can get through this. My faith in God has definitely given me strength through all stages in my life. He's never left my side and I am so thankful to him for that. You also have to realize that life isn't a guarantee for ANYONE on earth. All I can do is try to enjoy every single day, every breath, every moment I'm given with those I love. I live one day at a time and as I've told my family and friends, I will endure through whatever comes my way if it means I get to spend more time with them. Surround yourself with the positive. People who lift you up, music that lifts you up, your faith, and the realization that today you were given the gift of life. Also, don't be afraid to plan for tomorrow. I make plans for tomorrow all the time and it's those plans that also help me and give me strength to get to experience them. To get to fulfill those plans. There might be the "unknown" that cancer has put in my life, but I'm not going to let that stop me from living. You can do this. We are here for you and we're on your team. Wishing you all the best. Sending you tons of hugs. Keep smiling friend.
