Today marks 3 years since I completed chemo treatments ⁦Miami Cancer Institute Research⁩. I post this for those battling cancer. Diagnosed at stage 4 I’m alive & well. Don’t give up, don’t lose hope, stay strong. There’s plenty of life to live still. #CancerJourney ⁦Baptist Health Cancer Care⁩

Dealing with cancer I changed the way I talked about my daily challenges. I went from “I’m going through these tough times” to “I’m growing through this!” A positive mindset yields positive results. #CancerJourney #PowerOfPositivity

Cancer wasn’t a curse. Cancer was a blessing and a great teacher. What cancer taught me: -don’t sweat the small stuff -prioritize family time -eat better -sleep more -keep positive people around you -be grateful -say I love you more -live today! #cancerjourney #SundayMotivation
