After my diagnosis, everything started spinning very fast.
And so it occurred to me that I needed to get another profession, a second university education. If it so happened that you were diagnosed, life does not end there! on the contrary - it is gaining momentum! And indeed life gets more colorful, it becomes brighter and more vivid. it is very important to pull yourself together and understand for yourself. Maybe this is just the kind of a path I need?
This will be exactly my unique way in life.

At 46 I thought life was over. But my daughter found Instagram accounts and support groups, where I saw beautiful women, who were happy. I pulled myself together and went to the support groups. I was very moved by author, also a cancer survivor, who through his diagnosis realized his dream and became a tattoo artist.
Don't bury yourself in your own thoughts.
Don't feel sorry for yourself.
It is your life.
It must be a full vigor, not sitting in a corner, crying.
It's very important to love yourself. In any way, shape and form. Loving your hard-working body!

When I saw my doctor recently, she reminded me of the gray mouse I was before BC. I was a shy home-maker, a mother of two, helping my husband with the family business.
When I got the diagnosis, I shared it with my great-aunt, a BC survivor herself. I was hoping to get sympathy from her. But she chastised me! She said enough feeling sorry for yourself! She really put my thoughts back in place. From that point on I took charge of my life and I really changed. During treatment I didn't hide my baldness. I was opened about it. I embraced it. It was important to me to show it to women. That there is life after the diagnosis.

"I WANT TO BE ALWAYS ON THE MOVE"
Wear bright make-up, jewelry, clothing. Don't be afraid to bring attention to yourself. It's amazing how you sometimes have to go through this negative experience to get to something so positive.
Live full life, make plans!
When women lose their breasts, it's difficult to accept yourself. But men love you not just for your breasts, but for the fire inside!

I was the head accountant in a big corporation, working days, nights and weekends. My daughter didn't see me almost at all. I was focused on my career, my romantic relationship, and not what was truly important in my life. Diagnosis was actually a point of deep reloading and a time for reinvention of myself.
As it turned out, my diagnosis was not the end, it's a beginning. A way to start a new life.

I am a mother of three and a successful arbitrage lawyer. I always wanted to be a model, and who would ever think that after my diagnosis I would realize my dream and walk the runway! I was a finalist in a beauty pageant and have done many fashion shows and even a theatre production. I realise now that my diagnosis was not a punishment for something, but rather an opportunity to do something.
"REEVALUATING WHAT'S IMPORTANT IN LIFE"
Beauty comes not from a woman's looks but from her soul and her heart. A woman must be confident
and feel beautiful inside. Don't give up in any situation, even in the face of your darkest trials.
Life goes on. Beauty is stronger than cancer.
