Each time I collected a bead I would put it on the string in the order it happened. My family and I would do this together. It’s a reminder that it is about the family too. To this day, I still have the beads and add on to them when I come to clinic. I can look back at them and it literally tells my cancer story from diagnosis to current day in order. It’s easy to get lost in everything that happened, and having this to look back on is helpful for coping and moving forward in life.
