20 lessons cancer has taught me

  1. All the clichés are true.
  2. There is nothing more touching than someone telling you they would rather be experiencing this than see you suffer. And knowing they mean it.
  3. Laughter, even at the most inappropriate times can be magical.
  4. The thoughtfulness of a friend can make a tough day bearable.
  5. Scars are not ugly but a symbol of what we have overcome.
  6. What you think is a bad day is actually a privilege.
  7. There are some incredibly brave people in this world. And they’re not the ones you would think.
  8. People are put into your path for a reason.
  9. There is joy even in the darkest times.
  10. Being loved is the greatest gift you can ever receive.
  11. Even with no hair, people who love you can still see beauty in you.
  12. You are stronger than you ever thought possible.
  13. Whatever you’re going through, someone else is having a rougher time.
  14. Finding the one you love more than anything is completely priceless.
  15. Normality is seriously under-rated.
  16. You need to enjoy what you have right now rather than dream of what you might have.
  17. Prayers are always answered. Just perhaps not in the way you think.
  18. Peace on the inside can counteract chaos on the outside.
  19. Eating well can make a genuine difference to how you feel.
  20. Patience is not just a virtue. It’s a skill to be learned.
