I am a fighter and I believe that GOD does things for a reason. And I dont question him in what the reason is. All I know is that I will get through this with my support, group my family and my friends. I will continue be too be strong and be who I am...But I will live my life to the fullest..

Hi @Maryanne52 I have colorectal cancer and I am happy to see you have this mindset! It is a good mindset to have and fight against this horrible disease we know as cancer!
How are you living your live to the fullest? Care to share any tips because I sometimes struggle to do so.

I live my life to the fullest with my friends and family, and through the LORD. He gives me the will power to fight and to look at things in the most happiest ways possible. I have two young men one is 22 and the other is 26 and even thought they are adult's they still need their mom. I have been married, for 33 happy years. I look at them everyday and say i can do this. I go out with my friends and family...I am part of a fire company Ladies Auxiliary.
I don't sit and feel sorry for myself..So I guess in what I am trying too say is to live a happy and health life, spend it doing things that you (LOVE)...I love working on crafts that is my hobby...Just keep yourself busy... If you need to talk I m here for you..... Have a safe and BLessed Day!

How do you keep that mindset ? Most of the time I feel alone and afraid to share how I'm feeling.

Good Morning lori49! I have come to realize that life throw's lot of curves, and they may or may not be the ones that we want...I am also learning that we can't pick and choose certain thing's like disease's. When I found out that I had 2 types of cancer it nearly killed me with the shock, and what am I going too tell me family and my friends. This is a profound disease and it really break's my heart that I have to deal with this. But as I have said before I don't question in why this is happening too me. I just learn as I go that there a reason's for everything.
I am enjoying my (LIFE) as normal as I can. I have good day's and bad day's Lori49 but I do get through them. Do I cry! yesI do when I need to and then I pull myself together and go about my business. I alway would tell my friends and my family (LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT OUT TOO BE) I know that some people wouldn't look at it in the same way as other's.. And that is ok because if we all looked at the in the same way all the time life would be very boring. It's in GOD's hands and he will control it all...... I hope that this help's you and everyone else understand's in what this disease can do too a person's (LIFE)!!!!!!!!!!

I completely understand as I don’t have anyone to talk to also. I’m a widow & I live alone. My oldest son died in 2021 & my youngest son & his family live 3 hours. My father is dead & my mother has chronic back pain & is immobile. My younger sister lives with our mother & she is going through a divorce from her husband who abandoned her. My sister doesn’t visit me, help me, call me & rarely texts me. I have various cousins, a niece & nephew that are spread out in nearby states but are hours away from me. After I told my friends I had cancer, they quit contacting me. I have learned how to be my own care giver. It has been very difficult. I’ll admit I’ve been depressed, cried a lot, felt sorry for myself but I never gave up. I prayed & read my Bible everyday. Then I found cancer groups online like this one where I could share what I was going through & got empathetic responses. That really kept me going. I hope you find someone to talk to but I highly recommend the online cancer chat groups.
