“Just because a person has cancer, to me that’s not a death sentence. No matter how many people give up on you, don’t give up on yourself. They might not even fight it. In 1986 when I had breast cancer, it was like it was a journey. I didn’t even know anybody who ever had breast cancer. Now here I am. I know this cancer wants to kill me. I don’t know if it will or if it won’t. But I made my peace with God and I’m not afraid to die. I just wanna see Laney’s house. And I wanna see Maxine. And Daddy. Just like I wasn’t afraid of no cancer, I’m not afraid to die, either.”

That is a fighter’s attitude and it will carry you from challenge to victory more often then not.
From a 25 year breast cancer survivor and “thriver:” My mother and aunt had been diagnosed with breast cancer around the same time. So I learned how to walk with faith, hope, and plenty of healing energy from them. Thank you for your words. Cancer is not a death sentence. We learn how to live from the experience.
It’s definitely tough to got through. Thank you for sharing.
