Grateful To Be Alive

A cancer diagnosis takes so many things away from the patient. When I was diagnosed so much was taken away from me. I lost my dance career, I lost the parts of my body that made me a women, and I lost many friends and so much more. In the past 6.5 years I have had moments where losing these things get me depressed and very upset.
Then I remember that I should be so grateful to be alive and able to get up each day and do what I love. Cancer took a lot away from me but it has also given me so many things. I have had some once in a lifetime opportunities and experiences, traveled to places on my bucket list, and made lifetime friends.

No matter what is going on in your life and in the world find the things that you are grateful for.

I am loving my life in my Lilly Pulitzer BCRF pajamas. The littlest things can put a smile on my face. #baldballerina #grateful#metastaticbreastcancer #breastcancer#enjoythelittlethings
