You know this morning as usual, as we have discussed I woke up thinking “cancer”, then I thought to myself “this is crazy!”. “Why am I letting this beast of cancer rule my life”?????
So that’s it! Let’s start fighting back! Let’s tell this cancer that it NO longer RULES our lives, let’s tell it to just go away! Our thoughts are now going to be ruled by US not ‘IT’!
Let’s wake up and say to ourselves that we have TODAY! Let us enjoy TODAY! Let’s not look past TODAY! And, let’s not look back either. It is gone and over with! It cannot be changed, but I think we can change ‘today’! We have today! Our past is over and our future isn’t here, so we have TODAY. Let’s live it to our fullest.
Let us live “ONE DAY AT TIME”. Let’s not look at tomorrow! No-one and I mean no-one knows what tomorrow will bring, so let’s enjoy the moment of this day. Let’s be happy and share our selves with everyone we love and not worry about tomorrow. As my son said to me recently: ‘anyone could get hit by a truck and have his last day’—-so why waste time and energy worrying??? It takes so much of our energy to worry. I bet it takes less energy to just let it go….and be happy for now…
Let’s all make a pack to make this our ‘new first day’ of fighting this beast out of our ‘thoughts’ once and for all…and just “LIVE FOR TODAY’.
Let us practice, “what if, so what”. What if we have/had cancer—-SO WHAT…it happened..it’s here..but, let’s go for today and live life it to the fullest the best we can and how we want to—don’t let this beast rule us anymore!

Thanks for your support -
God Bless you Susan I fought back two times. That is the trick fight it. Live your life for today.
Sue,
I know this sounds crazy but I actually feel kind of lucky I have a very advanced stage 4 cancer.
I bet you are saying how could you say that?
I feel lucky because I have had a chance to let everyone close to me know how much I love and appreciate them, forgive those that have hurt me, confront those that I should have years ago about things and let them know how much they hurt me, travel and do a lot of things I always said I would do “someday”, I have helped many other people told by their doctor to get their affairs in order and nothing could be done for them. By finding them a great surgeon in a research hospital near them etc etc, I am finishing a book that will be left for my 22 year old daughter, family for many years to come and other people diagnosed with cancer that are running out of time. Apologised to my daughter for the fact I will not be there later in her life.
All the people that died in the World Trade Center did not get this chance, people that die unexpectedly and their families never get this chance.
If I can pull off a miracle and live a lot longer, great. If not, I have nothing left unsaid or undone. I am not suffering right now, I feel pretty good except for energy, I quit chemo to have this bonus time and be able to do all of these things.
Lucky, in deed.

Hang in there Sue I have been through this 3 times. It is tough at times but you can do this… The key is to keep fighting

You guys are all so inspiring. Thank you.
This is my mantra.
“Live in the moment.”
I try to remember that each day. It is a struggle. But it is the key to making through this and not going insane.
