“A year ago I found out I had cancer. It’s incredible how quickly a year goes by.​ ​The day has obviously brought up a lot of emotions. I remember asking my doctor a year ago if he could “just give me sedatives” for the next several months, because there was just no way I could get through it. Not only did I get through it, but I had some of the very best days of my life mixed in. Little did I know that chemo would just be the beginning. It has been far from easy, but so little of life is. The thing about cancer, or any serious illness, is that it makes you realize very quickly how little you have control of in life. At any moment your life could change forever - don’t waste the good days worrying about things that don’t matter. Easier said than done, but there’s an amount of peace that comes from reminding myself of that.” - @chelslm​ ​If you were just diagnosed or need someone to talk to, we’re here for you 24/7/365. 1-800-227-2345​ #CancerStories #CancerAwareness #CancerJourney
