I was diagnosed in February 2025 with stage 4 thyroid cancer. I had been out of work from my regular job as a RN and during this time to occupy my mind I taught myself how to Macrame. As I macraméd floods of thoughts went through my mind . Am I going to die? What if my cancer gets worse etc. Am i going to be around for my kids? As one can imagine being 44 and being told this diagnosis, even as a RN i was scared.. However once I got really into macrame , the negative thoughts went away. Memories of my children, family , friends ran through my brain. Positive thoughts and hopes occupied the space that was reserved for negativity. The creativity began to flow and i found something to ease the mental anguish that one goes through being diagnosed with cancer . So when I say made with 100% love that’s the damn truth. Who would’ve thought that macrame became my medicine
