I'm not dying, I'm just learning to live with cancer.
So one of the hardest things I've found about having cancer is the mind games. I think a lot. I am an overthinker. My husband even bought me a book "Women Who Think Too Much" *lol*. So I am constantly thinking about my life and my kids and what's going to happen. What the tests are going to show. What I read on the internet. What kind of thyroid cancer do I have. The really deadly one that you don't even live a year? I need to write a journal, quick. I need to take pictures. I need to make all my family members quilts, What do I want my funeral to be like. How will people remember me? Will my husband re-marry? Who will take my kids to church? Will I lose my hair? Sooooo many things going through my mind. What about work? I'm out of sick days. How will I keep my health insurance if I'm sick and can't work? Will they let me go? Can I still even drive? I have cancer you know....
Well, something I read made a HUGE impact on me and I've decided this is my new outlook. It was a very simple phrase "I'm not dying, I'm just learning to live with cancer"! At least for now!
