Not just BC
Hi all, When I was first diagnosed with BC last October, I made the decision to look for the smallest silver linings in each day to help me get through the overwhelming challenges I have to face in 2...

Hi @silverlining.
BC did not look at my calender either the rotten sod. (2 surgeries, 6mths chemo, 6weeks rad). I was diagnosed 3days before my twin daughters 18 birthday...happy birthday girls. We also had my sons 21st in the same month, step daughters formal ,graduation and 18th and christmas. I remeber thinking wow, how am I going to get all this organised and look happy doing it. They were all such big events in the kids lives.
It all got done, all went well and we had a fantastic time at every event. I just banned BC from the conversations and from my head from any special event. Actually, I am glad I was so busy it gave me some very good distractions from the rest of it.
I made a video 2 days before I finished radiation from all the good times that happened along the way.
Sometimes the silver lining is just getting through the day because each day that passes brings you closer to the finish line.. Some days are crap and sad and teary and some days you feel ready to take it head on. Having this forum to come to and let the frustrations, sadness, goodtimes and milestones out is invaluable. Every one here gets it.
You will look back at the end of the year and go "Geez where did that year go?"
Big hugs xoxoxo
