Ep. 85: Life is worth the fight

Our job as survivors of cancer and other big detours in life is to bear witness, to share our experience to lighten the load for others, to carry the torch of hope to all who need a light in the darkness of disease and despair.

Cancer is a big wake-up call. Once you get it, you don’t go back to sleepwalking through life. You say “Yes!” to life — the good, the bad, the ugly, to all of it. You love life as is, with no conditions, with no complaints.

Once you’ve had cancer, you never know if you’re cured forever, so you live the hell out of the day you are in, this big, beautiful, glorious day, and give thanks for being alive to see it unfold.
