I’m dedicating this space on my corner of the world-wide-web to serve as the encyclopedia of my cancer diagnosis and my life as a cancer survivor. If you or someone you know is going through this crushing reality, I hope this page helps you feel less alone. It’s only because I looked up hashtags about cancer that I discovered other people like me sharing their stories, that’s when I knew I would be able to at least manage. Unofficially, and without my consent, I’m an advocate. I have to be. I got the big C, it changed my entire life, and now I must continue on to provide a glimpse into what life can look like as a survivor. It’s not what you think. Survivorship is its own incredible, painful, heartbreaking, and mind-evolving journey. My story is just one of millions. It’s unique in many ways, and yet, the Cancer Badge is one I wear, like so many, and it doesn’t have to be exactly like my journey. We have an understanding, you have people, who at the very least, are going to get it. Just that part. And that is a feeling like no other. Someone gets it. So, this is where I’ll be that person for you. <3
