Diabetes, Cancer and I

This is going to be the story of my experience with these two diseases.
I have type 1 diabetes 34 years ago, my age is now 41 years old.
I have been diagnosed with breast cancer almost three weeks ago.At first this news impacts and yes, the first days you dive into a sea of ​​sensations.Many of these sensations are rare, confusing, scattered, of fear, of courage, of hope, of sadness, of loneliness, of restlessness, of disbelief, of calm and of uncertainty among many others.But little by little you are preparing to shelter in your life, a "shelter" that has to disguise itself as positivity and hope, now you have to fight another disease, cancer.
I have already lived the experience of cancer with my mother, how cruel it can be when you take over your life.It becomes giant and full of power, destroys you little by little but at the same time it is in a hurry to snatch your life.On occasion he was silent and I was waiting patiently so that my mother could be calm with us but always returned and appeared without any notice.
Now I have touched me and I think about the people who are in this same situation and I know that, in one way or another, you have to get out of this one like the many people who manage to get ahead with this or other diseases because we are so, we fightAs beasts when we want to be well, when we want to save our lives we grab it with force, with determination and dignity because sometimes we do not know how strong we are until life and circumstances put you to the test.
This is going to be a long battle and surely many times I will feel winner but I also know that cancer will remind me that the battle continues and that he is there and I will get up and I will do it strongly thanks to my family's support, beingsDear and the strength that life gives me.
Today cancer has no cure but can send for long years and you can reach old age without having to wait for it again, that is my hope, that is my goal, that has to be my reality.
I have diabetes and I have cancer but I want to live and I will.
