Without it we wouldnt be here to help others who walk this path behind us. Some people have it worse than others and everybody reacts differently to treatments. Overall I do consider myself to be one of the lucky ones even though I have gone thru cancer twice in less than a year. Im fortunate that I am here to tell about it and know that it could have been so much worse. You are officially a cancer survivor, be proud of yourself
