In my case cancer is not the only challenge I phased in my life but lot more and because of all those experiences I become so strong and deal able to deal cancer with lots of positivity also I am big time believer...I believe that this is not the end of my life. I can't skip my pain or discomfort or any other challenges I am going through because of my cancer treatment...so why don't I accept my illness and focus on my treatment, be positive trust me being positive and affirmations for good help plays a big roll.....I start helping other in whatever capacity and trust me I forgot about my pain I forgot about my cancer I use to dress up every day like a doll wear my best make-up and go for my treatment alone.....and that's the time when I realized this is what I want to do I found purpose for rest of my life....and started "MOH"
