Yesterday, my boyfriend passed away at 16 because of a rare malignant brain tumor. I pushed myself to go to the dollar store to find some distractions and came out with these wall stickers. It's small, but it made my day just the tiniest bit more bearable.

Keep pressing on. I had a friend that had a stage 4 glioblastoma and was told he probably had 6 months left. He decided to forego the chemo/radiation and started taking a ton of supplements and eating the foods that his particular cancer hated (he was also a step away from being a hippie). He also had the most ridiculously positive attitude I had ever seen. Like, insanely positive.

After each MRI it continuously showed the tumor had not returned and all the docs were shocked. Since he was against "real medicine" he decided it wasn't worth taking the anti-seizure meds to prevent the seizures he was having. Turns out he ended up passing away from a seizure when his girlfriend wasn't around to see it. At the end of it all, he lived over a year and a half longer than docs gave him, without the chemo and radiation, and ended up kicking cancers ass. I'm a firm believer if he had decided to take the anti-seizure medicine he would still be here today.

I guess my point is, keep pressing on and try to keep an incredibly positive attitude. The power of the mind is insane and there's no doubt in my mind that you too can also kick its ass. You've got this!
