Thank you Lena, for sharing your recovery story, and what helped you in the process. I'm a Cancer Recovery and Confidence coach and I work with clients, who have the same things to deal with after they are finishing treatments. I support them in a 12 weeks life coaching program of knowing where they are and where they would like to be, also with Styling, Color, Oncology Aesthetic Beauty, and Makeup. Their successes are remarkable and it is so great to see their happiness, having hope and knowing the direction where their life is heading, moving forward in their lives. You are amazing and thank you again, you are helping so many people.
Had diagnosed with cancer may 2020 at the start of covid and I understand your story thanks so much for sharing , I have been depressed lost my job my wife and since of life
62 year old, husband, father and grandpa. 1 year osteosarcoma in remission. Thanks for making this video. Chemo and surgery was so life changing, I’m having a hard time getting back my positive attitude. And learning how to deal with the pain and discomfort of my surgery. Not to mention the anxiety the illness itself. Thanks you brave young lady. On a humorous note, if you are on the roller coaster with a boy who likes you. He will tell you to hold on to your wig not your blouse top.. lol
I’m so glad you’ve liked my talk and hope it helps you in some way. Remission is a very long process (both mentally and physically) and I hope it goes as smoothly as possible for you and that you get all the support you need. ☺️ By the way, I loved your humorous note and will be sure to remember it next time😂👌
Thanks for this speech! I absolutely identify with you! It's a really hard process, I mean, reintegration! Dealing with the fact that almost everybody thinks that after treatment, everything is back to normal when it's not! I've been out of treatment for over a year and I'm still struggling with recovery! People don't seem to understand but with our speeches we are creating awareness! Thanks for this! It just gave me the "pump" I needed to start my day!
It is quite hard for others to understand until they live through it or are close who someone who does. Like you said, the best to do is explain it to as many people we can :) I’m glad you enjoyed the video and it helped you somehow. That’s the best thing that could come out of my speech so thx for letting me know 🥰
Those survivors are the real humans who gone though the real pain and they are stronger than others 💯 .Her speech has a great message and meaning.It's from the inner heart.
May god bless you and your future life, I’m 21 and have one week left of abvd chemotherapy, managed to keep myself together for the past 6-7 months for my family’s sake, I’ve spoke to elderly people who’ve been fighting for years and have no idea how these people carry on going through this torture simply to see their grand kids grow up, can not imagine what you’ve been though after three times highest respect and once more god bless your soul x Keep fighting 🤙🏼
Blackdiamond yes done it all went completely vegan and then introduced chicken again.. you can’t control the one cell that wants to act ridiculous though lol
Sylvia Castro I was just wondering cause I was curious if people with cancer completely change the way they eat and what affect they have after since I never met so just wanted to see there point of view .9
Blackdiamond oh no problem at all! Some people completely change their diets but it’s not the diet that changes you on a cellular level.. although it can help and have great affects on your body!
Totally agree. I feel like Lena can be of so much support for so many people. She helps people to be more aware of just how hard some things can actually be, and the best way to cope with it all
That's me currently. At 13 I was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Lymphoma T-Cell. I'm now 15 nearing remision at the end of April. I shaved my head at the beginning. And I'm a boy who had a Bully Magurie haircut, now with less than a 1/4-inch of thin hair. I also dropped from a 105 lb 13 year old, dropped 26 pounds in the first 2-weeks. After almost 2 years I'm back up to 105 lbs. I can't do much exercise with my port being in my upper-right chest area. But I am back to being able to jog, walk up stairs, ride a scooter, and rake the yard. I'm happy but not with who I am Mentaly I constantly self-sabatoge and I'm very arrogant, these are things I am working on but it's a struggle. Thank you for the tips. I'll update this at some point.
So nice to hear a story from someone else who has been through the same! And I’m glad you’re near remission! Good luck with the rest :) i totally get it about the port, it is quite annoying. Anyways all the best to you and if you feel like having a chat you can find me on Instagram. ^^
Thank you! Sending you many wishes and that your treatments (and post-treatments) go as smooth as possible. I am glad if my talk helped you in any way. Good luck!
Around the halfway mark in my chemotherapy Around 6 weeks into treatment I got to the point where I genuinely didn't care if i made it through, which as horrible as it sounds made it easier to deal with all the thing's that come along with cancer and its treatment as I'd given up worrying about any of it. Unfortunately since I've gone into remission I've found that I still don't really care and have no love or enjoyment for life aswell as developing pretty intense anxiety and on and off depression. The only thing that keeps me going is knowing how me not being here would affect my Mum, brother and nephew's. I really don't know how to change this mindset
Nayf I was diagnosed with cancer this Feb which came as a complete shock to me. When I got the diagnosis I felt my whole world collapse and a sense of utter despair and fear like never before in my life...for several weeks I just cried, prayed and slowly started to accept the fact that this disease could kill me. I underwent a major surgery, which was very scary, I remember just breaking down crying before entering the the surgery theatre and the doctors and nurses trying to cheer me up and just that horrible feeling of being helpless. Before the surgery I made a list of things I wanted to do and change in my life if I ever recovered from cancer...imagining what I wanted my life to be if I was given a second chance and starting to change my life step by step has given me strength to accept a lot of the fear and anxiety that I feel. Once you accept you will die (which is true for everyone by the way), and that you have no control over this, you start to see how many meaningless things you were doing before, re-evaluate your priorities and ambitions and this can give you the courage to try something different and open yourself to change...once you overcome (or manage) that fear of death you understand that you've got nothing to lose, that your time on this earth is what you make of it every single day and that this is the only thing you can control. I've given this a lot of thought this year and when I die I want to make sure I look back at my time on this earth with a smile, knowing that I was my own person and that I gave it my best shot no matter how long my life is. So if I can give you a suggestion, try to imagine yourself on your last day on earth and think hard about what you would like to remember, what things make a life worth living in your view and day by day try to build that life based on the knowledge you've acquired through this experience as your time on this earth like everyone else's is really really short so embrace it as much as you can.

Cancer is such a complex topic, we’ve got to keep talking 🙏🏼
