The Roller Coaster Ride of Cancer

I am still working on not getting on that rollercoaster ride...
I like to have control in my life and cancer doesn't give you much control, sooo hang on and lets see where the ride takes me. I was diagnosed in 2013 with early stages of CLL, I was a hot mess! Long story short I am surrounded by a loving supportive family, trust my oncologist and a renewed relationship with God. I am not alone... It will be ok, either way...One day at a time. I still have my moments but I work on accepting my new norm and focus on the positive in my life. I believe that I am doing all that I can ....supplements, diet, yoga, and my faith in His plan for me.
It's not always easy, while I am sitting in the waiting room of my oncologist I often wonder "How did I get here? I don't belong here!! Why me? But then my name is called ....I will be OK"

Wishing you the best

I see that you are a relatively new member to Connect - I'm glad that you joined us.

What a great story and great attitude! I'm so glad that you shared with us. I especially like your phrase, "accepting a new norm." How very important that is. Having a supportive group of family, friends and faith can take you through the tough times.

Best wishes to you as well,

Teresa
