You just do it

Saw this last night and thought it was quite apt to the Warriors fighting

[Yoshbosh]

This is so true!

I've had so many people telling me that I'm so 'brave' or 'strong,' and of course, I'm happy to take the compliment, but I do always say that how I am is how anyone would be when facing the same - you just do it! I don't think I am any braver or stronger than anyone else, I'm just the unlucky bugger who is going through it.

So true..I lost count how many people said this to me, I thought oh shut up you stupid person, but just smiled politely at them. We have no choice just have to get through it the best we can. In my case I am very lucky 'it worked' 👍

Love this, I'm the same, people say to me your insperional, I say no I'm not there are a lot me inspirational people out there than me. I've been dealt the card and need to play the game until I come up winning. Xx

I so agree these are the cards we have been dealt and we play the game getting by the best they can.... Your looking so well is ment to make you feel better I get that but I just wish that it wasn't the go to thing that people say to you.... I look in the mirror and I see a bald lady with no eyebrows or eyelashes ... Is this me looking so well ?? .... I think we are all inspirational our journeys are the same but very different I love to read stories of how everyone has got on and I have had and felt tremendous support without which I would be much more of an emotional wreck... I've encountered things that no one tells you about posting here majes you realise you are not the only one it's so reassuring ... We are not alone in this and for me I think it makes it less scary I'm not brave I'm me... Cancer has tried to take that away from me and I'm not going to let it .... My normal is skewed at the moment but I fight everyday to get it back ❤️

[Yoshbosh in reply to Shellygirl]

I didn't like being told I was looking 'so well' - I felt I had to justify the fact that I was sick!

[Shellygirl in reply to Yoshbosh]

I so know exactly what you mean 😃

[Emalou71]

So very apt 😀

[Hidden]

Yes indeed apt, you have no other choice really but to get on with it. I am glad I have had chemo of different variations as it has made me enjoy the little things of life, such as my grandsons smile. As regards looking well how we all hate that expression, what way do people expect us to look? Some day I will ask that question. We might dress up and put on the war paint and our best foot forward but inside we may be cringing with pain or feeling down etc. Sometimes we are not waving, we are drowning.

Love it, so apt and don't get me started on the 'B' word, I've banished it from my vocabulary and my family know not to use it in my ear shot

My mantra:

You never know how strong you are.... Until being strong is your only choice
