Life is made of lessons. Every day we learn something new, and hopefully use it to gain a little more happiness for ourselves, make less mistakes, and get a bit closer to the person we want to become. Here are 8 inspirational quotes and sayings that have really helped me along the way.

 

1) When something bad happens you've 3 choices" you can either let it define you, let it destroy you, or you can let it strengthen you.

2) Never feel bad if people remember you only at the time of their need. Feel privileged that they think of you like a candle in the darkness of their life.

 

3)  10 % of conflicts is due to a difference of opinion and 90 % is due to wrong tone of voice.

4) A man told Buddha I want happiness. Buddha said first remove " I", that's ego. Then remove " Want" that's desire, See now you are left with only " Happiness".

 

5)  Empty pockets teaches you a million things in life. But full pockets spoil you in a million ways.

6) Our eyes are placed in front because it is more important to look ahead than to look back.

7) Life is an echo, what you send out, comes back. What you saw, you reap. What you give, you get. What you see in others, exists in you.

 

8)  If you are depressed, you are living in the past. If you are conscious, you are living in the future. If you are at peace, you are living in the present.

8 Ways Metastatic Breast Cancer Is Different from Stages I-III

Metastatic breast cancer, also referred to as stage IV breast cancer, is the most advanced type of the disease. It occurs when tumors spread to other parts of the body. Unfortunately, it is incurable, and means that a woman who is diagnosed with it must live with cancer for the rest of her life. 

Being diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer can be overwhelming, and yet while there is no cure, many people with metastatic breast cancer can still lead full, rewarding lives and do amazing things. Of course, with the diagnosis comes many changes. Here are some of the ways metastatic breast cancer is different from the other stages of the disease.

8. You’re No Longer Looking for a Cure

As previously mentioned, the unfortunate reality of a stage IV breast cancer diagnosis is that you’ll be living with cancer for the rest of your life, which means your treatment will continue just as long. This will affect every treatment you decide to undergo and what you’re willing to experience. You’re no longer looking for a cure, but you are looking for more time.

7. Other People Will Still Think You’re Curable

The average person doesn’t understand that metastatic breast cancer is incurable — they may be under the assumption that your treatment will end during your lifetime. While you know better, do your best to deal with this. Be clear with your friends and family about your situation.

6. You Have More to Learn About This Type of Cancer

Many people, including those who have metastatic breast cancer, don’t fully understand the disease. Dedicate yourself to learning everything you can. This will not only keep you aware of your options, it will also empower you as you work to manage your care.

5. The Goal of Treatment Becomes to Prolong Life

With each treatment you undergo, you know the objective is now to stay as healthy as you can for as long as possible. Some women with metastatic breast cancer can live several years after a diagnosis with proper treatment and care.

4. Quality of Life Becomes More Important

After your stage IV diagnosis, time becomes much more valuable. A good quality of life is what matters, and you have to decide what treatments are worth it and which ones aren’t. Some treatments may be effective, but may also come with side effects you simply don’t want to deal with. Be honest with your medical team about how you feel to ensure you’re spending your time the way you want to.

3. Palliative Care Becomes Part of Your Treatment Plan

Palliative care deals with treating pain and symptoms related to your disease. It is also referred to as “comfort care” or “supportive care,” as the goal is not to cure, but to manage your symptoms and alleviate any emotional issues. It might include endocrine therapy to relieve pain, or medication to deal with nausea or insomnia. The primary objective is to help improve your quality of life.

2. You Get a Different Group of Breast Cancer “Sisters”

One of the silver linings of your diagnosis is that now, you’re part of an exclusive sisterhood, made up of women who are battling the same cancer as you. Like you, their disease is not curable and their time has become more valuable. Make the most of those sisters you have around you. Maybe you can draw strength from each other.

1. You Learn to Live in the Present

You may have received a tough diagnosis, but now you realize that this moment is yours. Make the most of it and appreciate the small things while they’re happening. Spend time with family, check items off your bucket list, and take each day as it comes.
Learning to live with cancer may be difficult, but you still have life to live. This is YOUR time, and it’s up to you how you’d like to make the most of it.

Breast cancer can turn your world upside down, but as draining as it is, good things can come out of your experience, too.
