“Admitting there have been some cracks in my armor along the way hasn’t been very appealing. People want to hear about survivors overcoming their challenges, not about the days we can’t get up off the couch, right?”
Cancer survivor and Mighty contributor Devenney Leijon shares how she presented a superhero demeanor after her cancer diagnosis to take control of her life. But when it became too much to handle, she realized it was OK to take off the cape.
Read about how she came to this realization, meet a breast cancer “ninja” who’s sharing her personal journal entries with us this month, and see how a father’s life has changed five years after his cancer diagnosis.
All my best,
