When you have a soulmate, you can look beyond all of that and see the beauty and the creation that God designed just for the two of you.
I’ve always been a big believer that things always happen for a reason and God chooses us for those reasons. I know my testimony will be tremendous and will inspire others to fight with all they have.
I’ve learned during this process, everyday I gain and meet some amazing friends. And although we may leave each other for whatever reason, I wouldn’t change a thing!
“We do what we gotta do to live, Sis,” she would often tell me. She was right and together, we did what we had to do to survive.
For so many of us in the cancer community, establishing connections with other survivors and thrivers has been a key piece in our ability to heal. We lean on one another and we learn from one another.
I’m a thriver because each and everyday I am pushing through the odds to beat this thing and live a long prosperous life with me and my family.
Instead of allowing cancer to defeat me, I have learned everything I can be and can do in-spite of.
I know all our stories are different and I want other women to know to what it’s like when finding out you’re stage IV right out the gate. If I knew back then what I know today things could had been different.
I’ve learned through all of this I’m a lot stronger and resilient than I ever thought I could be.
I want the world to know that I am living with this, but it isn’t my entire identity.
