When someone faces cancer, they are told many things by medical professionals and loved ones. One thing no one tells you about living with cancer is the intrinsic loneliness that comes with diagnosis.
Amidst the slew of doctor visits, treatment plans and messages of support, there lies the ever-present enemy within, the strange and dangerous passenger we live with every day for the rest of our lives. What this uninvited guest brings to our life is not only illness but a palpable sense of isolation. We become remote from our own body, thrown from our core.
