What Ovarian Cancer Taught Me About Myself and Others

 Ovarian cancer is a hard taskmaster, but cancer teaches us important life, faith and family lessons

PUBLISHED: SEPTEMBER 12, 2017

September is National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. Recently, the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition (NOCC) tweeted asking women to share what ovarian cancer has taught them. I tweeted that it taught me to never take time or people for granted.

That’s the social media 140-character response. The easy response. The expected response.

A person doesn’t get a life-threatening diagnosis of stage 4 cancer without learning some hard and unwelcomed lessons. Thankfully, moments of enlightenment and joy are mixed with the darker ones. Both are like the fire honing the silver, giving the lessons learned brilliance and durability.
