They say optimism is contagious - and it is. But like any contagion, it needs a willing host. Optimism won't spread where misery is on life support. Read more in my blog:

There are certain things I will not compromise on when it comes to cancer. These are the non-negotiables. This is my manifesto of defiant hope and this is the language of refusal, resolve, and inner steel. Here's a small sample of my 300 Cancer Non-Negotiables:

3. I protect my optimism from corrosion.
4. I treat hard days as part of my training for treatment.
5. I let tomorrow be a reason, not a threat.
6. I believe in post-traumatic growth.
7. I will not wallow in self-pity.
8. I keep showing up - bruised, brave, and believing.
9. I expect good days without demanding them.
10. I let courage outlast the chaos.
11. I honour my scars as survival ink.
12. I believe in the comeback more than the collapse.
13. I turn every “Why me?” into “Watch me.”
14. I believe my future is still bright even when incurable.
15. I will not let cancer take my voice.
1. The day doesn’t care, but I still show up for myself.

9. The day doesn’t care, but I’ll never stop showing it I do.
10. The day doesn’t care, but I care — and that’s what counts.
Medical teams at Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis send a farewell message amid the surrounding danger:
“We are currently working in the hospital, and the tanks are only a few meters away. We are now closer to death than to life.
The soldiers show no mercy—not to a child, not to an elder, not to a doctor, nor a nurse. We remain here because we are human, and our mission is humanitarian.
If these vultures steal our souls… don’t forget us, and don’t turn us into numbers. We love life. We have dreams just like you. We have children and spouses we love. But to truly be human means never abandoning those who need your humanity.”
“Tell the world about us… Tell them we were more human than those who only claimed to be. Tell them we chose death over abandoning our noble mission.”
“Don’t just call us heroes. Just say we understood what it truly means to be human. And forgive us—we are not numbers.”
