We have all been where you are. When I was diagnosed stage IV I had a busy real estate group, lots of volunteer activities, and tons of travel and fun times planned. It shook me to the core.
Then I knew I had a choice. I could choose joy in every day things or I could drown in “self”.
I chose joy but also to know and learn everything possible I could about my situation.
I looked at the survivor rate, which is a broad term as all cases are not the same. 12% was not encouraging-until I did the numbers! 12% is thousands of people! Why couldn’t I be one of them? Maybe I will or maybe I won’t, but I am 23 months into this and thriving. We are all different, but I still work and find joy in helping others. There is always someone among us that has a worse situation. Often I feel helpless to make a difference, but sometimes just being there for someone or writing a note does. It certainly helps me!
Sleep is healing! Focus with your doctor on some good sleep and ways to get protein. You can be a better you. If they aren’t helping go elsewhere!!
