Hi friends! Welcome back to TYP. As anyone with a longterm or terminal illness knows, there is often a pressure to put our best faces forward ... both for ourselves and for those around us. But, even when treatment is going well, there are often lots of awful side effects and challenges that pop up. And it's important to acknowledge that we all have bad days where we feel discouraged. In this video, I talk about some of my recent immunotherapy side effects and the physical, mental, and emotional struggles I'm currently working through.
Remember: It's okay to not feel brave and strong every day! You are allowed to feel upset and be vulnerable. You are also not alone, as so many of us are fighting a similar battle.
