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.

1) Cervical was original diagnosis but it is uterine. 2) This is my first time being diagnosed stage 4. 3) So far, I take it day by day. Going through a 25-year divorce and he won't help me at all but Jesus, my old church friends and my kids make a difference. 4) To still be able to look to the future.

(1) I can't defeat the cancer I have but I stay as positive as I can and have a great support group around me. I have a Glioblastomia which is treatable BUT not curable. My chemo treatments have gone well and the doctor likes my progress. I started to work out again and doing workouts with a personal trainer to get my right leg and foot to get stronger

(2) I have not defeated this as of yet.

(3) Working out is helping me. I started doing the teadmill everyday and now working out with Rebecca.

(4) I do not want to DIE. I want to keep going so I can watch my grandchildren and Great-grandchildren grow

1) I have a glioblastoma and I will keep on going. I will fight till the very end.

2) I have NOT defeated this cancer because it is treatable but NOT curable. They also found a new tumor.

3) I work out 4 times a week and feel good doing it.

4) I want to LIVE and will continue to fight. I hate this disease. This time has been worse than the first time I was told I had 2 tumors. I have been trying to stay strong but there are times I don't feel strong. I fight for my grandchildren and great grandchildren.
