tonka1989 I look at it this way - There is not much I can do about my cancers - Treating the monster(s) is best left up to the surgeons, oncologists and more.
Given I have NO control over how the disease will react to treatments I can control how I view my life.


The following questions are next to my bed and I read them out loud to myself every AM
- Am I not the very same person I was before cancer?
- Am I not free to think happier things today?
- Will my cancer hold me back today or will I hold my self back from the many things I want to do?


At night I answer the questions I asked earlier
- Here are 3 ways my cancer did not hold me back today
- Here are the 5 joys I experienced today.
- Here are the 7 things I did today just as I did before cancer


Works for me - and who knows it may for you as well

Hi there. I want to start out with saying your feelings are always valid, and I'm sorry you're going through this right now. It must be very difficult. I know how it feels to be tired all of the time, it stinks big time. Are you able to talk to someone about how you're feeling? It's not for everyone, but it can be helpful to talk it out. Please keep us updated with how you're feeling and know we're always here for you if you need anything <3 Warm wishes, Katelynn (team member)
