    Hi there,
    I happened upon this video and wanted to open it. You seem like such a lovely woman, and I send you wishes of all good. I have had three major cancers (bladder, colo-rectal, and the last one lung, sigh). I am currently NED, but I am aware of my quite tenuous health circumstances. Still trying to come back after a difficult (but so far, successful) surgery, which was already almost a year ago.
    I wrote this poem one day when I was thinking about people telling me how "strong" I was. You know how that is...we do not have a choice, and it is not always "strength" we have, it is simply the reality of getting up and facing each new day given to us. I hope that I am not being too forward.
    My husband has been listening to the video and when I said that I was going to leave a note, he said, "Tell her that I say hello, also." So "hello" from him! Anyway, here is my little offering, as you navigate this very frightening time, and I send much love from just south of you, deep in the coastal redwood forests in northern California. ~ joana
    Hard Day
    Would you mind...is it OK?
    That I just feel dark and sad today?
    I know it’s best that I’m a warrior, strong,
    But my bravery doesn’t always last so long.
    I’ll come around tomorrow, sure,
    And I’ll battle tough, yes, for my cure,
    But today came the fears, and I’m feeling weak,
    Please, just let that tear fall down my cheek.
    And try to understand me now,
    Even though you’d like to see me plow
    Through this trial, so brave and ready;
    I’m just not feeling so very steady.
    I’ve tried to toss these bad feelings, as though
    They don’t exist, but sadly, I know
    That this is serious, it’s very real;
    Cancer’s in my body and it’s brutal to heal.
    Shoving my emotions down
    Sure, might give me a “hero crown,”
    But frankly, right now I just want to cave-in;
    This is the most scared I’ve ever been.
    Please, allow my worry, and my moments dark,
    *I really haven’t lost my spark,*
    I’m in this, I swear, for the hard, long haul,
    I’m just down right now; today, that’s all.
    Please accept these times when I may not smile
    I’ll be back to myself; just give me a while,
    Please honor my feelings -- understandable quite
    As I step through this most important fight
    I don’t need extra pity or special attention
    When my fears, and sorry things I mention;
    I just want your plain acknowledgement
    Of today’s sad, creeping sentiment.
    We don’t have to wallow in the mess,
    I’ll feel better, as I progress
    But days like this...they’re normal; they're OK
    Please don’t try to help me “smile it away!”
    The best thing that you can do in my defense,
    Is to just validate my experience,
    Though sadness and fear aren’t the greatest thing,
    They’re real sensations that cancer brings.
    I don’t plan to immerse myself in woe!
    I will be cheery again, I know.
    It’s today that’s trying my weary spirit;
    Please bear with me, and try to hear it.
    I don’t need pity or coddling.
    Nor an attitude remodeling.
    There’s no need to try to make me smile
    Just your easy presence is so worthwhile!
    I just need to “be;” nothing more,
    I’ll soon return to the sunny shore
    Where hope is bright and promises healing
    ~ For now I just need to feel what I’m feeling.
    Your desire for me to be that model of hope,
    Positive and strong, ever able to cope
    Is so cherished, and for this I love you
    But...there *will* be days when I’m feeling blue.
    ~Joana Marie Dougherty McGee

      Joana (and husband), You have had such and hard journey yourself and are still here offering beautiful words to lift the rest of us up. Your poem has left me speechless, it is absolutely incredible, poignant, and hits at the heart of one of the hardest things to explain to others, that we aren't always going to be able to stay cheery and positive, that sometimes we need to break down or be grumpy, and that is ok. Thank you thank you thank you!

      ​Hello there @@pogfam ,
      How great that you love the poem. That makes me very happy. Most certainly we who know the fight understand these sentiments. What most people think they're doing with constant positive comments is -- obviously -- trying to comfort and encourage us. Cheerleading. That is beautiful, but we do have our days when we just want or need to be more babyish and pouty, or feel that deep and true sorrow that lies in there. Then, we pick up and go again.
      I work in the oncology field (both children and adults) and write a lot about the various experiences we have; things that perhaps, others not living it wouldn't think of. I have a pipe-dream of penning a book...one day!
      Writing is one thing that I have done since being a quite ill child. Learned to entertain myself, and writing was always my favorite go-to. I have poems from when I was 6-7 years old! I will be writing until my mind won't go any more!
      We're all in it together. Sending love your way, ~joana

      what a beautiful expression of how some days just ARE. I'm a two different cancers at same time survivor, so far. I had to ask my Dr "Which one is going to kill me 1st, that's where we'll start the fight?" My SIL who also has cancer, told me it will always be in yr mind, any little ache, pain, not feeling 100%, its THAT. And she was right. But, & this is what yr poem spoke to me~ we still fight, we still live, for every single minute of life is precious, & we who have fought this battle; no matter how long, or how hard, carry that with us in our very beings. Even on our worst days; our souls are very attuned to the life force & how wonderful it is. We need to be allowed to have our days when we don't struggle quite so hard, for our hearts still hold out to win the war!💕🙏

    My dear, I’m a cancer survivor X4. The only pain I have ever had was shoulder pain, that literally shook me to my core. I had a stage 3 tumor and the morning after surgery the shoulder pain was gone, that was in 2010. That was of the left lung. In July of this year I got cancer again in the right lung and this time did cyberknife. I have lost both breasts to cancer,
    and cervix to cancer. This has spanned 37 years, numerous chemos and surgery’s. I’m still here. Never give up when all else fails you always have God in heaven. Just fight like a girl and cancer doesn’t have a chance. Hugs

    Sarah , my name is Gayle and I just came across your channel … you are INSPIRATIONAL and truly a WARRIOR ⚔️ ~ Stay STRONG and POSITIVE is 🔑 you’re right !
    I have had three very close brushes with truly life threatening situations involving a botched surgery that gave me sepsis in 2020 and I’ve been going through what is called sepsis sequelae . Lost my gallbladder and just recently had to have a colostomy with a stoma placement which ended up being three major surgeries in two weeks time. Woke up in ICU after losing 5 units of blood after a spontaneous bleed in my mesentery after the second surgery. So they had to go back in again. Anyway , you’re AMAZING and you give me hope and courage to keep fighting! Im rooting for you and will keep you in my thoughts and prayers and send you healing light with hugs 🙏🏼🌟 keep smiling ! You have a beautiful one

    Honey, I am so sorry you had to go through that, but I am so glad to hear that you did not have a blood clot and it was so responsible of you to go have it checked out even though you were in such pain. I do not have cancer, but I have a similar situation from time to time where I get horrible pain in my chest and across my neck and into my arm. It blooms and gets stronger and stronger and even through I don't have shortness of breath I have a pressing, crushing kind of feeling. Eventually it goes away. It can be 10 minutes or it can be hours. I think my doctor nailed the diagnosis this time. He said he thought it was something called an esophageal spasm. He explained to me that sometimes the thin muscle over your chest wall can spasm for no apparent reason causing heart attack like pain. He said a high percentage of people going into the ER for heart attack symptoms actually are found to have this. It was very comforting to know that he took the level and degree of my pain seriously. Maybe you could mention this to your doctor. I might be something that could put your mind at ease if it happens again, but please check with him first as I do not understand how all your medical treatments might be effecting this. You are so brave and your tears only show your strength! Sending love and hugs and prayers from Georgia USA

    Just found your channel, praying for you and your family. I’ve had leukemia (AML) twice and a stem cell transplant which left me with a rare heart and lung disease and am now battle stage 4 pancreatic cancer and I’ve had similar pain, which ended up being pleuretic pain because the sack around my lungs was irritated/infected/inflamed and I’m surprised by how many doctors don’t think about or know about this type of pain. You can’t do anything except take pain meds, which may be why the pain got better after meds. But that’s just my experience and yours could of course be different. If it is pleuretic pain the best thing is to take the pain meds and keep taking as deep of breaths as possible until it gets better. That’s the type of answer I’ve gotten for it. Sending love,hugs, and prayers!

I know the feeling of pushing your fear down so you can be strong for others… mostly you can do that but do try to occasionally find time to “rage” against this insidious intruder… be angry… you didn’t invite this….you are strong, you have the capacity to value empathy and know when someone cares… don’t lose that. Rely on that strength as you travel forward … I will think of you❤
