So with all the great things that happen with treatment in cancer, there are A LOT of things that cancer patients don't talk about. So I would like for you all to know a few things that I have gone through...
1. The hot flashes still happen all day, everyday but my tolerance became better
2. The discoloration on my finger nails and toe nails (The color is so horrible people notice)
3. The pain never goes away in my back but it makes me stronger
4. My hair isn't the same and its hard to explain to new people why it isn't
5. My mind set will never be the same
6. The look in your loved one's eyes when they call you beautiful because they see the true beauty and strength in a cancer survivor!! The words "you look good" has so much more meaning then it has before.
***Most importantly making those in your life understand and see the fact that you have gotten better. Some don't understand the new you. My mindset is different in a great way. Its the best part about having cancer. :-) You learn to love everyday a little more than the last.
Great post :)
