A new year message to cancer ..

IT MAY SEEM LIKE YOU CONTROL OF MY LIFE RIGHT NOW ....  BUT YOU DON'T  !!

YOUR PRESENCE ONLY MAKES ME STRONGER , BRAVER , KINDER AND WISER ....

I CHOOSE HOW I THINK ...WHAT I SPEAK ... AND HOW I LOVE ...

YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO TOUCH THOSE THINGS ....   NEVER ....

THE FEAR OF YOUR NAME WILL NO LONGER HAUNT MY SOUL ...

BECAUSE MY SOUL BELONGS TO ME AND THOSE I LOVE ...

YOU MAY MAKE A CLAIM ON THIS FRAIL OUTER SHE'LL.... 

BUT NEVER ON MY SPIRIT THAT CRYS OUT " I AM NOT MY BODY " 

MY SOUL WILL RUN .. LEAP .. AND TOWER OVER YOUR ATTEMPS TO PULL ME DOWN IN DISPAIR ...

THOSE WHO SURROUND ME WILL FIGHT WITH ME ... AND WE WILL NOT SURRENDER  ...

YOU SEE CANCER YOU DO NOT OWN ME ... OR CHANGE WHO I AM ... 

            ....     .....    .....   .....   .....   .....    .....    .....    ....

this is just my opinion ... how I feel ... I do not want to take or change anyone's opinion on their journey ... we are all different .. but remember ... cancer will never have a friend ... never know give or receive compation.... it feels stronger the weaker we get ..  so let's hold on together in 2020 ... making a bond of friendship,  to help us through ... and to remember all our buddies and family and friends this year that we lost ... all in our hearts ...  and to those newly diagnosed ... join our chain .. make it so strong so one day we all put cancer into the past ... so to all our buddies on here .. let's hope for tomorrow  .... we should always carry hope ... and a big new year hug to everyone ...   Chrissie

    Cancer has touched me only lightly, I'm so, so lucky... But it's already turning me into a different person, a better person and I will use my new lease-of-life to support those in need.

    Lots of LOVE and BIG HUGS all around this forum.

  • Beautiful Chrissie,

    Please send me some of your positivity,

    I'm finding it all so so hard at the moment, can't leave the house without a massive panic attack,

    Terrified of hospitals since I was diagnosed,and spend all day yesterday in one as my magnesium was 0.2 took 6 hours to get it up to 1.6, everything frightens me,I'm hoping my 4 th chemo can go ahead tomorrow,best wishes,and keep up the great attitude,x

  • Hi there Ange...

    I'm so so sorry your finding it so tuff at the moment...  trust me, I'm no more brave then you are ... I spent the first two days after diagnosis alone yelling / crying and cussing cancer ... I was scared stiff before having my masectomy...  I was on anti depressants to get to the hospital ...

    You see the meaning of the word brave is being scared witless but you do it any way... that's brave ... as much as so many think we don't have a choice .. we do ... and we push through the panic .. I did it like you reaching out to others on here .. they gave me the strength to help me through ... 

    My daughter in law' got us together and said ... no more what ifs... no more looking ahead .. well take it one day at a time, and one problem as and when it comes up  ... and we'll do it together ...

    You see I had so much love and support , it gives us the strength for one more day .. so I'm sending you those same vibes that were given to me .. I've had my masectomy in July 2017 ... so now I'm old hat at it .. and through time can now look it in the eye and not be scared of the word cancer now ... the last thing I'll do is stick two fingers up to cancer as I go ... 

    Cancer wants us weak ... but slowly step by step we won't let it .. so together we can take it on .. it's not about Winning or losing ...it's about doing as well as we can .. and yes I still have days were it knocks me down .. I yell , get it out ... and stand back up .. so any time you need a chat, I'm here most days .. 

    I'm tagging @Marlyn... she's amazing and sure she can help you through too ... big hug to you .. let us know how you go ... Chrissie xx
