As I continue to navigate life after cancer, one issue I’ve come across is communicating to people the challenges that remain after treatment.

This time of year can remind me of scans during treatment, where up until then, I’d be lost in my day to day routines, mind completely occupied, until scan results would force me to snap out of it and come to terms with the big picture.

I came to terms a while back that my path in life had changed after cancer. But I took much longer to acknowledge just how much I, as a person, have also changed.
