Diane Galka, Wayne, NJ - Positivity Will Make Me A Survivor

by Positivity Angel 8. August 2011 08:28

I have a beautiful 2 1/2 yr old son and in Sept. 2010 welcomed a just as beautiful baby girl. Four months later our lives were turned upside down when I was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung adenocarcinoma. A type of lung cancer (not from smoking, I don't). I have been undergoing chemotherapy treatments since March, had an attempted surgery to remove my lung but it was unsuccessful. I now continue chemo treatments and have radiation everyday as well. I am a special ed. teacher so I had to stop working. I need help taking care of my kids. My husband(who is wonderful) picks up the rest of the slack and works too. Sounds like complaining. Its not. I saw the positivity braclets while away for the weekend at the beach. They hit me right in the face and I immediately bought them up to share. Anyone that has been through this journey with me knows that word has been my outlook on this entire situation. Having cancer is positive? Yes. Everyday I thank God...for, giving me an excellent doctor who wouldn't stop until he knew why I was coughing, my excellent team of oncologists, having my beautiful children when I did (I can't have anymore), my huge family support system, my friends, celebrating my 36th b-day last week, as the list goes on. I swear not once did I ask "why me?" I stay positive and keep going forward. Both sides of my family sport the braclets for me now. Attitude (and Jesus) is what will make me a survivor!
