After completing several rounds of different treatments, I realized…I’m not a thriver yet! Im a black woman…i can’t get tired yet…I’m a soulja…I strive to be a warrior! Holding on to faith over fear…. God is with me!

Your strength and faith are truly inspiring, and recognizing that healing is a journey with different phases shows incredible self-awareness. Many in this community understand the unique pressures of carrying cultural expectations while navigating cancer treatment, and finding ways to honor both your warrior spirit and your need for rest and support can be part of that strength.

Hi Gwen Your complete faith is such a inspiration to me. You are so right! You can't give up and let go. We are stronger than we know and the battle can still be won one day at a time. Hang in there.
