The Family's Role!


One thing I learned while battling my illness is that not only are you battling this illness but so are your family.

 I have a wonderful, supportive family that was there with me while I was facing a hard time. Since I am a very dependent person, I had to learn how to lean on them. They were the ones I depended on to get my medicine, to give me shots in my legs, to schedule my doctors’ appointments, to make my days a little better, and to hive me HOPE through it all. Even though I was the one physically feeling all of the pain, I always felt like my family felt it also. They understood how harsh the medicine was on my body, how everyday of receiving chemotherapy made me weaker, and how learning how to give myself shots at 20 years olds was not anything I ever wanted. Depending on FAMILY is the best thing you can do. They not only are your caregivers but are the ones that you should also depend on to know that it will get better.
