Hi everyone,
My name is Skyler and I am new here. I wanted to share a bit of my story, even if it might be a little different from most.
I have been dealing with breast cancer for a little over two years. The journey has been full of treatments, exhaustion, moments of fear, and sometimes an unexpected calm that comes when I finally stop trying to control everything. Through it all, I have learned how unpredictable the body can be and how much strength it takes just to keep showing up each day.
I decided to join this community because my father was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer. Suddenly, the word cancer became something our whole family had to face together, each in our own way. I have realized that even though our diagnoses are different, the emotional side of it all feels very much the same. The waiting, the hope, the relief when the news is good, and the quiet times when you just need someone to understand.
What has helped me the most has been connecting with others who truly understand what this Pips NYT path feels like. Not from a medical point of view, but from real experience and shared strength.
I would really like to hear from others who have cared for loved ones while managing their own health challenges. How do you balance caring for yourself and being there for someone else at the same time?
Thank you for taking the time to read my story. I look forward to being part of this community and learning from all of you.
