On taking a mental health break from cancer in order to rekindle a sense of hope.

Even after the longest storm, there are moments of hope and rest.

Only medical research can beat cancer, and the tragedy of cancer deaths cannot be softened.

Cancer is not an identity or a label.

It shouldn't have taken a cancer diagnosis to believe I'm worth loving, but it did.

Staying hopeful when others are dying of the same disease is one of the most challenging aspects of cancer.

My mother chose to live by asking for help, and so can I.

The ability to choose a compassionate death helps me to live in the moment I have now.

HOPE IS HARD TO FIND IN A CANCER WARD, especially when the news is stage 4 metastatic breast cancer to the liver.
