The Journey Through Chemo

 

The journey and the long hours spent receiving very strong drugs is oftentimes hard      BUT.… You’ll meet the most wonderful team of doctors and caring staff you’ll ever know who will grow to be like family to you.  The hugs,  pet therapy, massages and special care you receive are the most wonderful rewards a physician’s office could ever hope to offer.

 

The journey of ending up in chemo treatment rooms is not something you ever thought would happen to you BUT…. The new friends you meet, the experiences you share with each other and how you learn to pray for them is an integral part of what your life should have always been, with or without CANCER.

 

The journey does not always paint a pretty picture BUT…. On the days you are the saddest, feel like you look your worst and have lost all your hair, everyone will say you’re the most beautiful, bravest person they’ve ever met.

 

The journey is not an easy one BUT…. You’ll find out just how strong you are and can be, you’ll find an inner strength you never knew you had.

 

The journey might feel like a lonely one BUT…. The encouragement, care, and support you receive from family and friends will be something you can never imagine and wouldn’t want to live without.

 

The journey of thinking “why me” and “what have I done to deserve this” are phrases that will cross your mind many, many times BUT…. You’ve got to realize that there are many others out there just like you (even small children) and their fight to struggle and survive might be a whole lot harder than yours.  Take time to notice their braveness and their     positive attitudes.  It will be the best medicine you’ll ever receive.
