Sometimes I think I should create a totally separate facebook page that deals with cancer "deep thoughts" - because I feel like I go back and forth from laughing with grandkids to thinking about things like this blog!!
But the truth is - this is exactly what my life is like! And I'm pretty sure it's what your life is like, as well. Within a couple of hours, we can celebrate and laugh. We dream of fun plans for the future - and we face the fact that we have very little control of outcomes. And that is okay. 🙂
When I read this post, I thought it would be so helpful to share with people who are trying to figure out what to say to someone with something like stage 4 cancer, or with any difficult situation. We try to say things that are comforting and encouraging, but it doesn't always turn out the way we plan. This blog may be surprising to some people - who would think that people with stage 4 cancer feel pressure to "beat" cancer? This is a great perspective. 🙂
"Uzma did not lose her battle with cancer. Her cancer died with her. But while they were both alive, it was a no contest. Uzma had her cancer beat every single day that she was alive." - Dheeraj Raina, Uzma's husband
