Attitude shared an experience
Celebration (Finished treatment): I have two small children and was single. Very important to set a celebration for the end of treatment so the kids knew I would get better. We did Disney and had a wonderful celebration. I tried very hard to make sure my attitude was positive, extremely important with young children. I think a good attitude helped my overall success in fighting the cancer. I know work hard to support the work of the ACS. Important we work to help in not only the fight of cancer but the research that might help ELIMINATE cancer all together.

Drug or Chemo Therapy (Chemotherapy): I had on okay time with most of the drugs. Only had 1 negative reaction and had to stop that drug. Much quicker to get ready in the morning without hair. Have to look for the positive things.
