Why does cancer keep happening to me? Feeling like life isn't fair

I’m 29 and have stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. I first had a rare form of cancer at the age of 5 though. It’s hard to not feel like I was born to struggle. This isn’t fair

Facing cancer twice at such a young age brings enormous challenges that few people can truly comprehend, and those feelings about life's unfairness are completely valid. Many in this community have wrestled with similar questions about why difficult things happen, and sharing these struggles here can help connect with others who understand the weight of what you're carrying.

Thank you Ms Jane. At the end of the day, hardship and struggle make us who we are, strengthens us, molds us, brings about wisdom if we open ourselves to growth and not be consumed by the less than ideal. I have to believe that God has a purpose for all of this and I do but it’s still sad some times.

Well said. Your courage and faith will see you through this battle we all are facing! I’m stage 4 breast cancer since April 2024. Everyday is a blessing.
