Strong, Curiosity

Anything that tests you, any adversity you face whether you overcome it or not, can strengthen you. You can become stronger than ever, if you let yourself, and sometimes even if you don’t. You may become strong despite yourself.

I learned what I could about gynecologic cancer to a point. After a while, all the books just kept saying the same things, so I stopped. For others, it becomes a lifelong passion. One woman I know became an advocate who has done amazing things since her diagnosis. She has learned so much about ovarian cancer. It’s been said that people fear what they don’t understand. If there’s something you fear, learn more about it. It may help.
