Cancer on $5.00 A Day

I just finished reading the book "Cancer on $5.00 a Day" by Comedian Robert Schimmel. It is a best seller and what an inspiration. I enjoyed the book and his humor towards his treatment of non-hodgkin's lymphoma. He used humor to get through the chemo treatments for 8 months.

He wrote these life lessons and I want to share them with you:

Keep your sense of humor, no matter what.

Create a purpose, a focus, and never take your eyes off it.

Figure out what's important to you. What's really important.

Be open. Try anything. You never know.

Love. You need love. Tons of it. A shitload of love.

Sometimes you need to be selfish.

You need support. You're in this alone, but you can't fight this alone.

The most precious thing you have is time. Don't waste it.

Your only human.

And, finally, once again -

Laugh.

God bless him, he is in remission and has been for years.

Love,

Debbie
