Hello everyone,
How are you today? I thought I would revive this older, but helpful discussion! 
Going through cancer treatment or caring for someone with cancer can be hard on the morale.
What do you do to stay positive on hard days? What helps motivate you to keep fighting? What helps you to "thrive"?

Feel free to share and discuss here!
Take care,
Courtney

I enjoy traveling in my 30' Class C RV. Gets me out of the house and I get to change the scenery. Can't go too far as I get chemo shots every Thursday, so I have to travel around that day.

@Michele720 Wow that's amazing! What a great way to take your mind off things! I always love going for a drive when I need to clear my head.

We just published an article from Anna Renault, a cancer survivor, about her experience defeating cancer 8 times (now battling her 9th) and how she thrives with cancer. You can read the article here and feel free to comment on the article about your opinions or what you felt after reading it. It is a very inspirational article.
Ms. Renault states the most important thing to thriving with cancer is having "a purpose in life that keeps her alive and determined to fight." She recommends to anyone battling with cancer to "Find your calling. Stay committed. Lean on your support system. Find joy where you can."
She also states that surviving / thriving with cancer to her means waking up each day, being able to get out of bed, do her daily acitivties, and being able to eat and drink without vomiting.
Let's start a discussion where you can talk about how you thrive with cancer.
Please tell us:
1) What type of cancer you are going to defeat (cancer you are currently diagnosed with);
2) How many times you have already defeated cancer (if this is not your first);
3) How you thrive with cancer;
4) What does surviving / thriving with cancer mean to you.
