- In the latest episode of TYP, we're focusing on the power of positivity, which has been proven to be very important for anyone who is facing a longterm illness. Keeping a good attitude helps us become better suited to face the day and keep fighting. Here, I share my own top six tips for staying positive.

Just found your channel and Mean Girls is one of my favorite movies. Thanks for sharing these tips. They're very helpful. Hugs from SC♥️🤗
Love the Kanye west references. I’m going to listen to the song good morning. Such a great song. I’m dealing terminal cancer too. Wanting to get back to work a bit to some extent. Wondering- are you working part time during your journey? Thank you for sharing your story
Thank you for joining us here. I'm sorry to here about your diagnosis. I hope you found some stuff on here that is helpful for your journey. I am still working. I'm not sure how, but my employer has been very flexible with me luckily.
As for work, I should probably talk about it in a video and see how other people are handling that. Usually I have to take off on the days that I get chemo, and I work from home the rest of that week. On my off weeks I'm in the office full time. I wouldn't recommend that schedule to any else in the same situation, but I do have to keep my benefits and pay all of those expense hospital bills that we're probably all dealing with. I know that's probably not sustainable so it worries me a lot.
@@terminalyetpurposeful517 hello! Yes I think your videos are very helpful. I think a video about work would be great. I know it is hard to keep working but yes benefits etc are so important especially with all of the health costs of cancer treatment.
I am dealing with std/ltd details now and I think I’ll have to get back to work if I can. My employer is flexible too . I am glad to know you have a supportive employer and I hope work keeps your mind occupied in a good way (and not thinking about cancer all of the time which I have the tendency to do). I think all employers should be this way for their employees that are dealing with cancer but I know so much comes into play. Very worrisome all of this but trying to stay positive and realistic. I am now in much more pain from cancer than I was before. Do you experience a lot of pain as a symptom? I’m doing a radiation treatment now but not sure how effective it is so may have to switch to chemo . I can’t bear all this pain.
