I don’t want people to feel sorry for me, but sometimes I want sympathy.
I feel like a warrior! Sometimes I cry in the shower.
I hate my lymphedema,
but like the “love the
tattoo!” Compliments when I wear my fancy compression sleeves.
It’s ok to feel lost.
It’s ok if you found your way.
My life has had ups and downs long before cancer, just never one that had an online support group I wanted to join until now.

@mossa, well said. Your paradoxical sentences are spot on. I, too, think triump and grief, strength and vulnerability, clarity and confusion can co-exist.

I'm really glad that this support group spoke to you and motivated you to participate.
