@isadora2021 the uncertainties that come with cancer are daunting….each of us are different..as for me, i put my legal things and finances together, then must take it one step at a time.anything good that happens is a win, and they can add up and give us strength..for me, i try to bypass the guilt by helping other patients in a variety of ways— I learned that during my time in the hospital.

@nycmusic Yes! We are all so different.

Acceptance has always been such a healing power in whatever life has thrown at me, and then doing the best with the hand I’ve got.

It continues to be super hard seeing young people and parents of young people not surviving cancer.

Life is strange. I never asked “why me” when I got diagnosed with stage 4 but I can’t help those thoughts when I see others. Life can be such a mystery. Helping others certainly does help. And knowing too there are others in our compassionate cancer community who will be willing to help me when I need it.
