Survivorship
Cancer free. Wow! The excitement is overwhelming. Chemo is done, incisions
from surgery are continuing to heal, and we are back home! A miracle has
happened and I have breath in my lungs today. I am celebrating life and am
so thankful for this amazing gift that God has given me to live another day.

But here's what I have found over the last few months. Things haven't gone
back to "normal" like I thought they would. I’m not sure what I expected post-
cancer life to be like, but maybe I didn't think any differences would matter
because being alive would be enough. And how can one express fears and
insecurities without seeming ungrateful?
Well, I am here to share with all of the fighters and survivors reading that you
are not alone if you feel this way. Your life is different. For some of you, it may
feel amazing and for others, you might find that you are struggling with survivor’s guilt, where you fit in, and how to have conversations with people now.
