Cancer Stole My Life and Gave Me a New One

Life goes on after a cancer diagnosis, but it's never quite the same.

Two lives. That’s what I’ve been given.

For a long time, I tried, in vain, to make sense out my male breast cancer diagnosis by attempting to find a link between my life before cancer with my life after cancer. It never worked.

Cancer has given me two very different and very separate experiences – the before and the after – and there is simply no way to reconcile the discrepancy between the two. At any rate, for me that has made all the difference in how I see my disease and how I interpret its significance in my journey today.
