Life after cancer is something to celebrate because, quite simply, when you’ve faced the possibility of no life, the deliciousness of life becomes that much more powerful and precious. There is a relationship between the depths of despair that you feel when you’re in the midst of the operations, the chemo, the sickness, the pain, the uncertainty and the incredible heights of freedom that come with life after cancer. As dark as it can be on the one side, it can be equally as blissful on the other.
It didn’t come right away, and it wasn’t easy, but even when I got the first all-clear signal from my doctor, I knew that the seedling for my joy was planted. And even as I was judging my inability to get my “happy” back and feeling lost and alone, that seed was being nurtured somewhere within by a deep faith and vitality for life.
