People look at me now on this new medication and think everything is great. They don’t realize how depressing it was for me to lose so much more of my hearing. I avoid large crowds, it’s too noisy and I can’t hear. #cancerawareness #ihadcancer

Last week I had a scare. Specifically, a cancer scare. It was the most substantial scare I've had in a while and really threw me for a psychological loop. ihadcancer.com/learning-how-t…

"Every time I go into a procedure, I think about how I might never open my eyes again. How do I ensure I’m happy with everything I do before then? I always want to make the most of my time, but I also don’t want to pressure myself to enjoy it." ihadcancer.com/burt-rosen-adv…

Apart from the exhaustion, I looked fine. People around me commented on my appearance. “But you look so good,” and “You haven’t lost your hair." "You look great so you should be good and capable," sounded like, suck it up buttercup. ihadcancer.com/but-im-not-bald

I heard the three words – “you have cancer.” I thought my life was over. I was 66 years old, retired, and art was far from my mind at that point in my life. One day, I took a walk in the halls of the cancer ward. My prognosis was good. ihadcancer.com/reemergence-as…

For me, gratitude just comes naturally now. I’m constantly thinking or even saying out loud how grateful I am. Whether it be on my walk, taking in my beautiful surroundings, where I live, the food I get to nourish my body with, or my community. ihadcancer.com/h3-blog/if-i-d…

I know sometimes we ask "why me" when we are going through the hard times, but the harder question when we are getting through it and responding to treatment can be. "why was I lucky enough to survive?" ihadcancer.com/h3-blog/gratit…

“You have myelodysplastic syndrome.” As I tried to process those words, she continued “The average lifespan is 104 months, just take this medication.” Then she walked out. This was a reprehensible way to treat anyone. #IHadCancer #CancerThriver ⬇️

To all of you spouses/partners and parents who live with cancer patients: you are my heroes. Nobody, including me, has any idea how difficult it is to walk in your shoes. There are so many emotional land mines to navigate. ihadcancer.com/h3-blog/06-23-…

Expressing gratitude to those who worked hard for us, walked faithfully alongside us, and selflessly helped us seems fitting. Even though cancer presented many challenges, the people who stepped in made the difficult trek a little lighter. ihadcancer.com/thank-you-to-t…

"I couldn’t believe that my hair was all gone. I eventually developed social anxiety because of it. It affected me so greatly that I didn’t want to leave the house for any reason whatsoever. Going to the grocery store was so emotionally taxing." ihadcancer.com/i-lost-my-hair…
