    This May at age of 19, I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Two days ago I've finished my chemo treatment. Can't wait for what future will bring. And yes, there is no longer normality but I see it as an opportunity, thank you.

    As a colon cancer patient I faced three surgeries and three months of haunting stoma support ordeal. And now cancer recurrence within 1.5 years! But braving all challenges with solidified heart! Inspiring speech..

      I just got diagnosed with Stage 4 Colon and Peritoneal cancer. They confirmed it thru Colon surgery ( giving me an ostomy )after an incomplete colonoscopy and biopsy. t's a journey you have been on and one I have just started. My appetite is poor and I have lost a lot of weight and muscle mass. The Drs all say build your strength for chemo and radiation. I am doing strength training everyday ( a shadow of what I used to do in the gym) and re Learning what I want to eat that will rebuild me. I have a fighting spirit, and will not cancer defeat me. I will live the life I am given with relish and love.❤🎉😊🎉❤

    Thank you so much for sharing your experience Giulia. I truly admire you and the way you choose to react to what life brought you. I feel that I can relate in so many ways with what you said. Going through a sarcoma as I am typing this comment, only recently I started to understand the importance of self forgiveness, empathy and loving ourselves. Thank you for this presentation, I hope all the best to you and everyone else going through a hard time in their lives

      Beautiful video...thank you! I am one year post-diagnosis of a very rare, aggressive type of uterine cancer. It may have been caught in time, but most people with it die within 3 years, even if caught early (dedifferentiated endometrial adenocarcinoma, a new diagnosis discovered in 2006). After hysterectomy, five or six months of two kinds of all-day chemo every three or four weeks (can't remember) ending late Feb, then in July six weeks of daily radiation to whole pelvis, then two daily brachytherapy treatments an hour's drive away. Hair is back but suddenly very curly. Energy is still nonexistent. Sleeping a lot. Many die within one year of diagnosis and surgery. But I could also still be around in 10 years. Hard to live with such uncertainties so far, to be honest, even though so many others are coping with much more difficult realities. It has to come from within, and every one is different. Happened within a year of moving cross country to be near my daughter. She has been great, along with my unbelievable boyfriend. But l have no other new friends on the West Coast (lost job due to cancer, and covid restrictions and bad fatigue and other symptoms have kept me home). Don't want to burden others, but it gave me hope to see how well you are "framing" your new life. You seem to be a wise and beautiful person. Thanks for sharing such a positive outlook of a difficult situation. I hope to get there someday soon!

    I wonder how a death sentence via lung cancer can be viewed as an "opportunity" ? I'm really keen to hear your upside. Don't tell me. I get to go to heaven and strum a harp ? I guess that would be preferable to the reality. The stone cold reality of being buried beneath 6 feet of stinking Earth 20 years earlier than I'd bargained for.
