A month ago, on June 4th, I was diagnosed with cancer. It has been one of the most unexpected and life-changing experiences of my life. Some days are harder than others, but I’m taking things one step at a time. I’m hoping to connect with people who have gone through, or are currently going through, a similar journey. Sometimes it helps to talk with someone who truly understands what this experience feels like. If you’ve been diagnosed with cancer, are in treatment, or are a survivor, I’d love to hear your story, share experiences, and support each other. No one should have to face this alone. 🥺🫂

I was diagnosed last year in July, lost my mom to brain cancer at the same time. Had surgery, recovery was hellish, mental health tanked. If you ever need to vent feel free to message. It’s rough and scary but not impossible to beat. I wish you the best.

@hephaestion I’m so sorry for your loss. 🫂 I wish you all the best too. No one deserves to go through something like this. I really hope that one day there will be a cure that works for everyone and every cancer.

@javvier I’m sure there will be. I donated what I could for research. I don’t want anyone to have to go through this.

Do everything the doctors tell you to put first, gain 20 pounds. You’ll be happy you did later. I was right there with my best friend until the end from brain cancer in February 2023. Everyone’s journey is different. Some can be beautiful along the way. I hope you can find beauty in parts of your journey and wish you the best. ❤️

My husband has been fighting cancer for ten years. It’s been a journey. I think the key for him is he has always maintained a good attitude and keeps fighting, even though he should be dead a few times over by now. But the odds are just that: odds. People beat them every day.

@drewb Thank you so much for sharing that with me. It really means a lot, especially hearing about someone who has been fighting for so long. Everything is still very recent for me, so it’s difficult to stay positive all the time, but I’m trying my best. I’ll keep reminding myself that odds are just odds
