Hello Kathleen - laughter may NOT be the actual BEST medicine but it is definitely a contender in the TOP TEN.  Keep on laughing.  And telling your story, it remains a powerful one.

Hi Kathleen thank you for writing about your struggles with cancer and all the gifts that it all entered into your life since 2012.  I do believe having a sense of humor does help us through difficult times. And sure sometimes gathering up the energy to laugh isn't so easy. You are an incredible role model for all of us!! And....love the fact you painted your eyebrows.....kick a** gal.  I love it!  Thank you for your very heartfelt and genuine post for the October Challenge - To Think is To Create!

Hello Kathleen... lung cancer took my mother. One of my friends who lives in Hungary has just been diagnosed with breast cancer and can't get surgery or treatment for it during the pandemic. Such a terrible disease. Your story of your courageous journey never fails to tug at my heartstrings. And even though I know how your story "ends," I'm always rooting for you!

Kathleen Daniels, Probate & Trust Specialist - I hope you did something memorable on your anniversary yesterday! I really do believe laughter breaks up the ice when other people look so grim. As long as there is breath and doctors say they can do something, that's worth the fight to put on a smile, laugh a little and when you put others at ease, it makes them more comfortable and the patient too!

Way to go, Kathleen! You have so much to give and we have so much to learn from you. Virtual hugs to you today and always.

Patricia

Hi Kathleen:

What a wonderful entry for the October Challenge. You are such a powerful role model (and not just about your cancer) and certainly had the right attitude about dealing with your cancer from the beginning, but about sharing the transformation that it brought to your life.

Enjoyed reading this blog today! Just about every day I hear about someone dying from cancer, getting diagnosed with cancer, starting treatment--it is EVERYWHERE.  So glad to hear you are a survivor with an emphasis on humor--that's how I get through the day--listening to comics on podcasts and the late night TV shows.

I am thrilled you are here telling your story. As for the eyebrows, I'm sure everyone appreciated it - doubt they would poke fun over someone trying to feel better and more confident about themselves.
