Here's to making other people happy!

Tomorrow I start my 6th round of Chemotherapy treatments. We think that they are going to change the regiment that I have been on but we are not sure. We trust the fantastic Dr's that we have 100%. There is always a level of anxiety that comes with starting a new treatment or new round of Chemo and this one is no different. All you have to do is tell yourself that I have done this before, I can get through this and I am strong enough to beat this.

Your best friend when you have cancer is a positive attitude. No matter what you go through, how hard it becomes or how draining it may seem you have to stay positive. You just have to tell yourself that God has a plan and that I am going through this for a reason. You have to take it ONE DAY AT A TIME. I can't emphasize that enough. You have to just focus in on things that you can control on a daily basis. I can't control how I am going to feel, sleep, eat or how much of the cancer I am going to get rid of this round but I can 100% control how I react to it. I can control how I treat others around me and I can control how I am make them feel.

If I can just make one person feel better on any given day than I have completed my daily goal and that is something to hang my hat on. Giving people hope and showing them that you care is contagious. Once you help one person that person wants to help the next person and so on. What if we all made it easier on each other instead of harder and we all just helped one person a day. There's strength in numbers! Go help someone today! I know that I will try too!

I love it when people leave me comments when I am in the hospital. It gives me a huge boost! Leave a comment and I guarantee it will get appreciated by me in my adjustable hospital bed.
