Just Diagnosed with Cancer? Chat with Experts

Going through breast cancer diagnosis and surgery consumed my life.  But during radiation I got my sense of humor back and now feel so good helping people.

Joyce,

 

Thanks for writing. Great to have you join our community. And you're right -- we get through things like this "together." There's no better way, and helping others is indeed the best medicine.

 

Looking forward to hearing more from you. We'd love to get to know you and your story better.

 

Best,

Maria

Joyce, I'm so glad you are finding the joy in life again.  A sense of humor really does heal, and reaching out to others helps turn a frightening and painful experience into a more positive one.  No one wants to have cancer, but it can be comforting to realize that the experience has given us some insights that can help others.  I hope your healing from radiation continues to go well.  Thanks for sharing your experience.
