Living & Looking Beyond 6 Months

Kelly U'Ren Moody was diagnosed with oral cancer, also called head and neck cancer about six and a half years ago. This news came shortly after she decided to make a big career change. After spending most of her career in finance, Kelly began attending school in 2013 to obtain her certification in health coaching.  Shortly after Kelly started pursuing a new career, she faced another life change, a cancer diagnosis! In 2016, Kelly learned that the cancer was terminal, and she had four to six months to live. Thankfully, she is still here with us, and some great things have been happening in her life. Today, Kelly shares her story with people all over the world to provide hope and help to those who are facing cancer. She is an example of how to face it head-on!   A few highlights: 1. There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes that people don't know about. When someone has cancer and they look ok on the outside, there is a lot that is going on inside. Kelly explains that there are days when she doesn't feel so well because she is still dealing with the side effects of treatment. One of those side effects is lymphedema. 2. I am here and I am doing the best that I can. Kelly shares that telling her mother this helped to carry her and it helped the rest of her family as well.  3. Kelly's favorite word is gratitude. She talks about how angry she was for quite some time. Now she reminds herself at the end of every day how much she has to be grateful for. She prays every night, and thanks God for her day!
