GRATITUDE! To wake each day and be thankful. It’s not always easy, it’s not always sunshine and roses. Be grateful for another day! Remember that it’s your journey, you are the author of your story. Write a new chapter of your life, strength, courage and perseverance, let others revel in your inner strength, courage, and ability to overcome obstacles they may never face. Only those that have gone through the process and have fought the fight will truly understand. Tell your own story, embrace it don’t let others tell their version of it! “Don’t Let The Bad Days Win”💪

Hi Donna! ..cancer affects us all differently, mentally and physically, and we all process it differently. Some want to know every detail some of us just want the quick answers . What stage is it in?, what is the procedure? What is the success rate? Myself I don’t need a bunch of medical mumble jumble. Get to the facts so I can make my decisions!

Thank you for answering. I kiddingly thought to myself... i will just write an expiration date on my butt and moon the next person that asks, but I know they are not asking to be mean. I also thought about saying what is the date today... oh no it's tomorrow! It just reminds me and messes with my emotuins
