Question

What is the most valuable lesson life has taught you?
However painful the lesson, what were the results?

Answer

Having cancer, seeing my dad have cancer, losing my best friend to cancer all in the span of a few years, that has taught me that quality of life is precious and we must be sure to let people we love know it while they are still here and to spend time with them while they are here, to store beautiful memories of them, and to not push yourself until you drop. I learned that life is totally short and precious. My dad is and had bladder cancer, he survived, I survived mine and we are not healthy people, my friend Kat, the healthiest woman on the planet who was never sick day in her life except for the cancer that took her, was not spared. I learned to change my life, I used to work jobs, got sick, worked , then part time then disability. I hate being labeled disabled. I need to be busy so I chose to devote my good days to others, to my support group and website to help others get the treatments they need and in the process making new friends. Lymphland.com my site and Lymphland support group has grown to over members just in year, were like a family and help each other out, and that is the most valuable lesson of all.
