It is easy to get so involved with your cancer journey that you forget to take time for the life you had before cancer became a factor in your life. Like going to dinner and cancer not come up. Like planning out your week without a doctor appointment to work around. Like planning for your future without a recurrence coming into mind. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Take your life back one moment at a time. Go to dinner with friends and/or family and set guidelines of no cancer chatter. Or go get a mani/pedi with a friend and make a rule of no cancer talk. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Cancer will always be in the back of my mind but there are little things I can do ((like a girls beach weekend)) where it doesn't have to come up unless I want it to.⠀⠀⠀
