Living Again

One of the hardest things for parents dealing with cancer is learning how to live again. When a family member or our children are in treatment, our lives revolve around said treatment. Routines are disrupted and we lose focus on how things were.

Once treatment is complete, it is important to step back into the world and have confidence and faith. I know a ballerina that had cancer. She is a top notch student and to look at her you would never know she had nearly died.

The moment treatment was over this young woman stepped right back into life as she had known it previous to treatment. She doesn't mention the cancer if you talk to her in casual conversation. To those around her though, that know her battle, she is a true inspiration.

What will you be to other patients undergoing treatment? Will you be true inspiration? or will you be a doom sayer?
