You’re not alone! There are millions of people who have been affected by cancer. We don’t know each other, but we do know that we are in a very specific group. It’s not a group that we would choose to join, nor is it one that we would recommend. The common thread is that we’re all fighting a battle for survival. We have and are fighting physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, We come together on these pages to support,encourage and share our experiences with the expectations that we can help ease the stress, strain, and trauma associated with this dreadful disease for ourselves and others! Regardless of whether we know each other, we understand, and can relate to what others are going through! 🙏 Keep fighting! “Don’t Let The Bad Days Win!”

Thank you! Jane, I feel that when we share our experiences with each other it is with the intention to help others. Helping others makes us feel better it releases dopamine, which can help in our own recovery. 🙏 Stay strong, keep up the fight! 💪 “Don’t Let The Bad Days Win!”

Hi! Lidia, if you don’t mind I would like to offer you a suggestion, there is a book called “ through the storm” by Ellie Urban. Which I think would be helpful for you and your husband to read. It has great insight and perspective on what we go through as cancer patients, and what effects it also has on the people around us. Cancer affects us all physically, mentally, emotionally,and we all handle it differently we will never be the same person as before. Reaching out to people who have experienced cancer and the emotional effects it has on you, is a good first step towards healing and recovery. Good luck, keep up the fight! “Don’t Let The Bad Days Win!”
