Is Cancer a Second Chance or a New Beginning? Coping with Your Journey

So! .. Is it a second chance? a new beginning? Or a redirection? This is your journey, you are in charge, no one can do it for you. You’ll have days you don’t think that you can do anymore. These are the times that require your inner strength, your will, your determination. Everyone that has experience cancer knows that the person that started the journey, is not the same person that comes out on the other side, regardless of stage, type, or treatment.

This journey truly does transform people in profound ways, and recognizing that transformation as something meaningful - whether it's a second chance, new beginning, or redirection - can be deeply empowering. The strength and determination mentioned here are real qualities that cancer survivors discover within themselves, even on the most challenging days when moving forward feels impossible.

Hello Bridgette! I hope that you will feel comfortable here and you can share your thoughts, feelings, and experiences with us. I’m sure like the rest of us there are many other groups that you would rather be a member of. 😅 (non cancer) Sharing the fears,emotions, experiences, with others that can relate is very helpful,comforting and beneficial! Stay strong, keep fighting !

Hello to all! I am a five time Cancer survivor! I believe God is keeping me alive to witness to others about his amazing grace and mercy towards all of us! I like most of you have my good and bad days but I try not to complain or take pain medication! I rest a lot, eat just about anything that I want and drink a lot of fluids! The struggle is real but God is great!
