HOPE Hold On Pain Ends

Almost 4 years since my diagnosis and living in medical remission. I have learnt so much about CML and about me.

Mostly to focus on the things I can do and how blessed I am to live in this country in this decade. Also I am not fighting it, I’m living with it. Accepting is not agreeing and more useful than positivity or negativity.

I spend way more time doing things I like doing with people I like being with. Cancer is not an excuse to be rude, mean or neglect other areas of my well being. I learnt the hard way, a bout of survivors guilt, that I am not in control of, cannot cure and did not cause my cancer or anyone else or whom lives or dies of this or anything else.

That there is at least a little joy to be found in even the worst of days. Just for today life is good. HOPE
