The word "Survivor."

I am glad that there are so many survivors out there. I wanted to be a survivor and get to ring the bell and such. But, it didn’t work out that way for me. Now I just consider myself as a loser because I’m not going to survive after trying so hard. This is my second round of breast cancer after a ten year break. They tried everything. I finished my treatment a few weeks back and I am not going to survive, I’m going to die. I don’t know how long I have. I have breast cancer tumors in my left armpit, my lymph nodes, my bones, my lungs and my liver is filled completely with tumors. I truly am so very happy for those of you that are survivors. I don’t talk to anyone that I don’t know about my cancer because I don’t want to scare them with my story and ruin their joy. I would rather they keep their joy. So I’m not a survivor and I feel like I am a loser or whatever. God bless all of you beautiful survivors. Maria

Thank you. Seems I need a lot of those these days.

I wish I could reach out and give you a hug! Words fail me in trying to express how I wish this was not the outcome for you. Your posts here have shown your kind heart while looking for answers. You have shown such strength, trying so hard, and enduring treatments.
You are the best of us! You are a warrior.
Sending love, wishing for moments of joy where you find them, Tricia

yakyak9, thank you for the hug. There are just not enough hugs in the world.
