Hi
. That is a comprehensive and, yet, concise list. The ability to find blessings all around is a gift that not everyone has. Thanks for sharing. Best, Richard (Team Member)
The ability to still help others
Hi
. What a fantastic thought. On this page our editorial team compiled thoughts from the community on maintaining hope and a large number were dedicated to helping others: https://advancedbreastcancer.net/living/maintain-hope. Wishing you the best. Richard (Team Member)
I will help until I'm unable to. I just wish there was more access in the community I live in.
it warms my heart to read your words. The world and your community are better because of you. However, I'm curious to know more about the type of access you would like to see. Sending you strength and support! - Beth (Team Member)
I am grateful for so much! First being the tremendous advances in treatments. I am at a point of being adjusted to my new normal. I enjoy each day as it presents itself and if plans change so be it! I look forward to waking each morning and being able to breathe without pain. I also am so grateful of the support I have received from family, friends and neighbors. And the support from reading others that are dealing with the same challenges. Thank yiu for the stories of your journey!
