A 27-year-old Inspiration

I just turned 27 and I got diagnosed with a stage four breast cancer...

I got on the site and immediately found a story about a lady who had a mastectomy, and I'm having mine and don't know what to expect, so her story helped me so much.

 

I was on the site for a while just reading about different people. That inspired me to write my story, in hopes of helping others. I wish I had found this site sooner, because I would have had many questions answered, as well as people who understood me.

 

I know many of you feel alone, as I did, but this is a community where we all share the same story and the same feelings. We are here to help each other, and my goal is to help anyone who needs it.

 

I'm so happy to have written my story, and I thank all of you who read it and support me. You have no idea how much your warm comments and support have helped me everyday.

 

I had a lot of courage before, but now I feel like I made many friends that share with me something incredible. We are all united, and together we can beat this terrible disease, and we can try to have a little fun while doing it.

 

Cancer is going to be as bad as you let it be. Don't let it bring you down or take control of your life. Life is too short to not enjoy it. Do all the things you want to do, and have fun with everything you do, because you never know what life has in store. And always remember that we are here for each other whenever we need it.
