How do you feel about holidays?

The holidays bring on a huge range of emotions. They can bring as much excitement as they can exhaustion.

As someone living with advanced breast cancer, how do you feel about the holidays?

How does it impact you both mentally and physically?

  1. It's hard. I believe I have a very positive outlook. But the Holiday are tough. I've had MBC for 7 yrs now. It's gotten harder. My son and my daughter in law are making Thanksgiving Dinner this year.
    Christmas has become a big retail scam. I have 4 grandchildren. When buying they're gifts I try to stick with "Something to Wear, something to Read, something they want and something they need". I'm not rich, I stick to $150 each, plus my adult children.
    I find it mentally draining, I become depressed and sad. I just want to sleep through it all

    1. we hear you and are here for you. My heart goes out to you. <3 The holidays can be tough for a multitude of reasons. I have heard a lot of people do the something to wear, read, want and need. I have actually done this for my husband! I hope that this holiday season is not that tough on you. If you ever need a listening ear, please know we care and are here anytime. Sending many hugs your way. -Jessica (Team Member)

    2. I identify with you Ginny. Christmas has always been my favorite holiday. Each year with MBC Christmas becomes more difficult.
