An open letter to the people who never left. 🤍

Some people walked away. Some became distant. And that’s okay.

This letter is for the ones who stayed.

To my family, my friends, and everyone who chose to stand beside me through every storm, every setback, and every season of uncertainty thank you.

You celebrated my happiest moments, but more importantly, you never left during my darkest ones.

When life changed in ways I never expected, your love, your prayers, your messages, your patience, and simply being there reminded me that I didn’t have to carry everything alone.

This journey has taught me something I’ll never forget:

The people who truly love you don’t just celebrate your victories they stay beside you while you fight your battles.

To everyone who chose to stay…
Thank you for being part of my healing, my hope, and my strength.

I will carry your kindness with me for the rest of my life. 🤍

Xoxo,

Angela

🌊💗 Healing from Cancer Comes in Waves 💗🌊

May mga araw na malakas ako at puno ng pag-asa. ✨
May mga araw na pagod at parang nao-overwhelm. 🥺
May mga araw na nakikita ko ang progress.
At may mga araw na kailangan ko lang talagang magpahinga.

At natutunan ko na lahat ng araw na iyon ay bahagi ng healing.

Madalas nating cine-celebrate ang pagiging matatag, pero bihira nating pag-usapan ang mga tahimik na araw—yung mga araw na natatakot ka, sobrang pagod ka, o pilit mo lang tinatawid ang maghapon. Pero mahalaga rin ang mga araw na iyon.

Ngayon, matapos ang aking 4th chemotherapy session, mas naaalala ko na ang healing ay hindi tungkol sa pagiging malakas sa lahat ng oras. Ito ay tungkol sa pagpapatuloy kahit mabagal, kahit maliliit lang ang hakbang. 🤍

Higit sa lahat, nagpapasalamat ako kay Lord sa pag-alalay Niya sa akin sa bawat alon ng buhay na ito. 🙏 May mga araw na pakiramdam ko hindi ko na kaya, pero hindi ako pinabayaan ng Kanyang biyaya at pagmamahal.

Sa aking pamilya, kapatid at magulang, asawa at anak , mga kaibigan, at prayer warriors maraming salamat. Ang inyong mga panalangin, mensahe, at walang sawang suporta ang nagbibigay sa akin ng lakas sa mga panahong nauubos na ang akin. 💖

Kung may sarili kang pinagdaraanan ngayon cancer man, pagdadalamhati, anxiety, heartbreak, o anumang laban na tahimik mong kinakaharap—sana maalala mo ito:

🌸 Okay lang magpahinga.
🌸 Okay lang magkaroon ng mahihirap na araw.
🌸 Okay lang mag-heal sa sarili mong pace.

Tuloy lang.

Hindi pa tapos ang kwento mo. 🤍

✨ 4th chemo done.
✨ Halfway through the journey.
✨ Patuloy na nagtitiwala sa plano ni Lord.

4th Chemo: Tarot Reader Edition 🔮💉

“At this point, I feel like a tarot reader.” 😂

Every cycle comes with its own predictions:

🔮 Will I sleep all day?
🔮 Will food taste weird?
🔮 Will I have energy today?

But my favorite card is always the same:

✨ The Healing Card ✨

4 down, 4 to go. One treatment at a time, one prayer at a time, one victory at a time. 💖

Most of all, I am thankful to God for carrying me through every step of this journey. 🙏 Thank you, Lord, for the strength, grace, and hope You give me each day.

And to my family, friends, and prayer warriors—thank you for every prayer, message, and word of encouragement. Your love and support mean more than you know. ❤️

The journey isn’t over yet, but today I’m celebrating another step forward. ✨

🙏💖✨

One thing people don’t always see about cancer and chemotherapy is how hard the side effects can be not just physically, but emotionally and mentally.

Yes, we smile.
Yes, we show up.
Yes, we try to act normal.

But behind closed doors, many of us are fighting battles no one can see.

There are days when the pain is overwhelming. Days when our bodies feel weak, our emotions feel fragile, and even the smallest things can make us cry, become irritated, or withdraw from everyone around us.

Personally, when I feel this way, I choose to stay inside my room.

Not because I don’t appreciate the love and support around me.

I hide because I don’t want others to see how much I’m struggling.
I hide because I don’t want to hurt anyone with my reactions when I’m not feeling like myself.
I hide because I don’t want people to see my pain.

And if I’m being honest, there are moments when I worry that if people see me at my lowest, they might think I’m not strong enough to fight this battle.

So I keep my tears to myself.
I keep my fears to myself.
And I try my best to carry on with a smile.

The truth is, cancer changes you.
Chemotherapy changes you.

It tests not only your body, but also your mind, your emotions, and your spirit.

Sometimes we become quiet not because we’re angry.
Sometimes we become distant not because we don’t care.
Sometimes we choose to be alone because we’re simply trying to survive the day.

And sometimes, the strongest thing we do is quietly survive another day.

So if you know someone going through cancer treatment, please be patient with them. Sometimes they’re not angry. Sometimes they’re not avoiding you.

Sometimes they’re just doing their best to manage the pain that no one else can see.

And to my fellow cancer warriors: I see you. I understand you. And I’m proud of you for making it through another day.

We may not always look strong, but every day we choose to keep going is proof of just how strong we truly are. 💖
