   <p>Those who know me are aware that I have battled cancer 3 times since 2013 along with the many treatments ranging from surgery to radiation and chemo . Throw in a good dose of covid pneumonia and the death of a spouse and you have toxic cocktail of physical and emotional ups and downs.<br/><br/><br/>Over time I have come to realize is every one of these run-ins while challenging had a strange way of making me emotionally stronger, more tolerant of others and perhaps better prepared for the next shoe to drop. <br/><br/><br/> While I would not wish cancer on anyone, dealing with this disease brought out some positive and noticeable character changes . These days I appreciate every moment of everyday and am more mindful of the need to step back and not jump to judge others too harshly. <br/><br/><br/> Facing cancer is not easy but you look a bit deeper into the muddy water of cancer you may see some flecks of gold just waiting to be found.

   <p>I love what you wrote. I wish I didn’t have cancer, but since I do I’ve decided to make changes in my life. Each of those changes have been a gift. Like you, I prefer rainbows! Ann (Blood-cancer.com Team member)</p>
