Song that help change my attitude

This morning on the bus I heard the song "Real" by Lupe Fiasco. There is a line in the second or third verse where he states:


"Struggle just anotha sign that God love ya/ Cuz on the low being poor keeps you humble"

** For so many reasons this diagnosis should have been a curse but how can I feel that way when I know God creates our paths? In a small way it makes me feel like I'm a little bit more loved then I thought.

Which also brings up the quote: "Without struggle there is no progress"... My next step is going to be amazing. So check me out.

    what type of steps do you think is necessary to make sure that a person actually makes progress after a situation like yours and doesn't fall go backwards? Also even though it may seem like an impossible question, what has been your weakest moment thus far, mentally and emotionally during these last months?

    Thank you for your comment Nathan!!

    The best words of advise that I have for someone who will have to go through this situation in order not go back to old habits would be:
    * look at each day as a blessing
    * pay attention to the people who are there and want to be there
    * it's okay to show emotion even when you're scared or angry
    * making it through this situation means there is something more important for you to go through.
    * love the little things in your life because the material things won't make you happy when your in and out of hospitals

    My weaknest moments physically and emotionally:
    Physically: March 3rd, 2011... I had a virgin hottie tottie and took a shower. After I stepped out of the shower it took every bit of energy to put on my clothes. I took one step to the door and next thing I knew I needed to puke. I threw up every bit of the hottie tottie. I crawled out of the bathroom because I did have the energy to stand. I cried and no tears fell because I was severely dehydrated.

    Emotionally: I'm still going through my weak moments. I feel behind my peers and I don't really relate to their worries and complaints

    I believe your so mature and have surpassed your peers ten-fold. Cancer is something that affects not only the patient, but those who really care for the patient. The thing is, only the patient knows the true journey cancer takes them on. As your friend, I KNOW for a fact that you are stronger mentally and emotionally than anyone I know. Stay positive and focused on the ultimate goal.

    I hope our not looking over my shoulder as I'm typing this lol
