I am a two time testicular cancer survivor. Anyone else here survive cancer? I honestly feel like surviving cancer is harder than fighting cancer. Yes, I'm alive. Yes, I am trying to start a family.

And Im stubbornly determined to not let tragedies or depression or unemployment, or whatever hardship define my life. Gods goodness and my choices define my life. If you are tired and lethargic, perhaps telling your Drs about it will bring new answers. Also, praying and asking God for help. He honors the humble heart <3
