Live Life to the Fullest!
You guys! So, at this point months had passed and the Tamoxifen did not win! I was still taking it and going strong, like a champ, like the survivor I was/am! I was kicking some Tamoxifen ass at this point. I cannot explain how good it felt to finally just live my life again and be happy, feel good. Of course if I am telling the truth there were still “struggling days” but they had become few and far between because I refused to let this medicine consume me. I know some ladies that have been on this medicine and had to throw in the towel, take other routes and I totally respect that, it is hard, it is not fun, the side effects straight suck! Everyone has to do what is right for them, with cancer there is no right or wrong way to do things, there is no right or wrong way to how you feel, you literally learn to roll with the punches. What I have learned and still learn everyday is just do your best and make everyday count, live your life to the fullest and have fun. Life is short, life can be hard, challenging and sometimes unfair but you only get one life so make it the best you can. If I was given one opportunity to say anything I could to someone going through any type of sickness, without thinking twice my words would simply be, “Be Kind” I cannot say enough that people have no idea what someone is going through, or maybe they know what someone is going through, but knowing what someone is going through and understanding how they are feeling and processing information is two totally different things, that being said I would say “Be Kind” every time!
