Being stage 4,trying to lead normal life and raising the kids: we are the strongest people in this world I think.
I have a 4 year old and 8 year old, it is such a challenging job for me to remain strong when I get raising tumor markers or bad scans. As Chrisy said sometimes I go into the healthy denial mode. But it is such a tough job and I cry sometimes "why me?".
