Labels are for jars, not people
I will survive.
Three powerful words Munira Premji has chosen to live by since her stage three multiple myeloma and stage four lymphoma diagnoses in February 2012. It’s also the name of her inspirational blog – which has over 65,000 views across 80 countries since it began in March.
What began as a small virtual space to keep family and friends updated on her cancer journey, has quickly become a live journal capturing Munira’s most candid moments – the good, the bad and the funny.
Munira’s blog entries range from light-hearted postings about her secret love affair with oranges (a side effect of chemotherapy), to inspiring messages like ‘labels are for jars, not people’ and ‘once you choose hope, anything is possible’.
Munira’s Story featured on UHN Website for World Cancer Day « I WILL SURVIVE.
