Cancer is something one can beat, but there are always consequences and there is no cure, just therapies that can help. In some cases there is an extremely high chance of a recovery, but still no guarantees. I've had many cases of cancer in my family and I've lost loved ones to it, so it is something I can relate to. I have seen the impact it has on people and I understand those who fear that it might return even when it was years since one had it. My husband's sister in particular was very affected by it and still is, despite the fact that she had had the operation more than a decade ago. I've always tried to cheer her up when I see she's down. <br /><br />I remember when you published that post, I was both moved and inspired by it, and obviously I'm not the only one.:) I think you set a wonderful example by talking about it and remaining so positive and fabulous. You are a wonderful inspiration. What people need to hear is that dealing with any disease obviously has its challenges, we shouldn't downplay it, but it doesn't have to be the end of the world, we can still be the same person we were, or perhaps even a better person.<br /><br /><br /> I'm really looking forward to day when they finally find cure for cancer & other diseases. It is great that we have treatments that do, in many cases, help, but what we all really hope for is a cure, isn't it? It is important to remain grateful, it is something that I always try to do. Be grateful for the treatments that do exist, even if they don't always help, be grateful for the doctors, the friends and the support.

I just wondered if talking or writing about it eases the reserved (for lack of a better word ) outlook. I remember when I announced I was battling cancer. It was one of the hardest things I had to do and I battled within me nonstop before I hit publish. Should I? Or should I not? I did eventually and felt such a relief. On my Facebook, I received messages from people that related cos they were also diagnosed or had just beat it and it felt good. Most importantly, I felt hopeful. It was like I dropped a bomb and the shock was priceless cos I kept my smile and continued pushing out looks cos it was 'invisible'. Not to compare it with your chronic condition or denigrate it. I also wanted them to know I wasn't looking for anyone to throw me a pity party just because I announced that. So I feel you, one never knows what to expect with these things. <br /><br />However, one thing I know for sure is that it takes a lot of courage and I applaud you for taking the bull by the horns. So sorry you have to deal with this condition. Sometimes when I find myself drifting down the 'why me' path, I remind myself that it could be worse. That helps me get my grateful spirt back. <br /><br />Heck yeah, you are inspiring!! And you are amazing!! Great points!!!<br /><br />http://www.fashionablyidu.com/Fashionably Iduhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06956302419818567630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4850565263129103413.post-76807151488494208472018-01-09T05:05:14.504-08:002018-01-09T05:05:14.504-08:00This is such a brutally honest blog entry that spe...This is such a brutally honest blog entry that speaks on something that can be hard to communicate in real life. Thank you for sharing something so close to your heart and personal life experience with us. I think that it's easier to speak about the illness once it is accepted by the one that has it but of course, the discomfort comes because of the unknown, experienced both by the one who is ill and the loved one. Both are transformed by this experience even though each filter it through their own separate lens. All the points you mentioned are very helpful and considerate that some I do practise myself. :) shanaz@RShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12470536308827713492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4850565263129103413.post-73657506596877826072018-01-09T00:51:52.758-08:002018-01-09T00:51:52.758-08:00Good morning Ivana.
This is a very personal post ...Good morning Ivana.<br /><br />This is a very personal post that has definitely touched my heart because if I have been with family or classmates who have a chronic illness and at the end of the day they have also found a way to live with it on a daily basis. Which does not mean it stops being difficult.<br /><br />Thank you for being honest with us and for exposing a vulnerable part of you, I suppose it is also very difficult to write about that in a blog, so I congratulate you for your courage and for addressing this disease in a way that I find admirable.<br /><br />Hope it gets better in time and thanks again for being honest and transparent.<br /><br />All the best from Barcelona<br />Pablo<br /><a href="www.heyfungi.com" rel="nofollow">HEY FUNGI </a>Pablo Parra (Fungi)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01138791843308961302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4850565263129103413.post-32855411081022882532018-01-09T00:21:50.977-08:002018-01-09T00:21:50.977-08:00Thanks a lot :D
