How do I stay strong when cancer treatment exhausts me?

🙏 May your comeback be stronger than your setback!💪 I know it’s hard. I know the amount of strength it takes to survive. Especially when you don’t want to fight anymore. The days you are unable to get out of bed. The days you stood and walked on trembling legs. The days that climbing 3-stairs was exhausting. But you can do it, and you will do it, just don’t give up. Every single step forward is progress! “Don’t Let The Bad Days Win!”🙏💪

What does it feel like in a cancer center waiting room?

Sitting in the waiting room at the cancer center waiting to be called. I look around the room at the people sitting and waiting for their turn.Different ages different races. But the one thing in common, “Cancer” Some for treatments some for follow up appointments. Everyone in different stages and phases but the one common thread “cancer”. Some are sending text messages, some are watching YouTube videos on their phones. There is a silent heaviness that fills the room. At one point, that room full of quiet, total strangers broke out into a collective applaud as one of the patients rang the bell. (A milestone in the cancer journey) For that one moment you saw the smiles from everyone, knowing the significance of that simple act. 🙏 God bless! “Don’t Let The Bad Days Win!”
