MY cancer Journey! You took me to the abyss physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. When I was at the edge and about to give up you stopped. Then you left me alone to make a decision, and make my way back, you watched as I struggled to get up, subject myself to what seemed to be endless exhausting treatments. You watched as I was pummeled by the hail of my storm. You watched me as I shivered in the dark and the weakness of my body was on the verge of collapse! Then it started the will to not give up! one moment at a time, one hour at a time, one day at a time! I began to fight back mentally, physically, emotionally. I could stand again, I could walk again, I could fight another day! 🙏Keep up the fight! “Don’t Let The Bad Days Win!”

What a powerful testament to the strength that can emerge from life's most challenging moments. This journey shows how resilience can be built one moment at a time, even when everything feels overwhelming. The reminder to "not let the bad days win" is something many in this community can draw inspiration from during their own difficult times.

Thank you! 🙏Suzanne, Those of us that have been diagnosed with cancer have no idea where this journey will take us. We are tested mentally, physically, and spiritually. We never knew how much we could endure,only those who have been or are going through it will understand. It’s not like getting a cold or the flu and you know in a few days you will be better. From the moment you hear the words “you have cancer” it changes your life forever. You will never be the same person you were before. From that moment on it is a fight for survival, a battle to win! Good luck, and prayers be with all who are affected by cancer! 🙏 “Don’t Let The Bad Days Win!”
