I would tell anyone no matter what you are going through, allow your body, mind, and spirit to rest. You Got this, Mama! - Dr. Deresa M.

Know and understand that you can be tired of going through it. Cancer is a fight that is fought mentally, physically, and emotionally. Keep your mental on the path that you will overcome. - Tunisa J.

I wouldt ell anyone when going through a tough time, always stay positive and keep pushing through. - Nekia C.

Everything is not for everyone! Control the vibe! The people you let in & confide in should be people that can and will hope and pray with you, believe with you, fight with you and celebrate with you.
