Not everyone diagnosed with cancer experiences positive life lessons, but some do. Some are able to look past suffering to find transforming truths. I never expected to be one of those people, but after fighting breast cancer I can honestly say I’ve learned a lot.
One of the most important lessons I’ve learned is not to take life for granted. Before being diagnosed with cancer, I never gave a thought to the number of days ahead. I always assumed there’d be a tomorrow, but cancer changed that for me. After breast cancer came into my life, I wasn’t sure there would be a tomorrow. Cancer helped me realize life is a precious gift and every moment must be treasured.
