I recently hit my 8-year cancerversary and had a lot to think about. Sometimes it feels like yesterday that I was diagnosed, and sometimes it really feels like it was a long time ago. I recently reflected on everything that had happened through my first eight years of living as a cancer survivor, which got me thinking back to cancer year one. When I was first diagnosed, I couldn't get my hands on enough information about people who were going through cancer, what they were thinking, how they handled it and if they lived long enough to tell about it. So, I figured, why not share some thoughts and even some tips I learned while living that first year of cancer.
