From SUrviving Cancer to Thriving
Post-Cancer Support
As a fellow cancer survivor, I intimately understand the journey you're on. Cancer takes so much from us and from the people we love. The fear, uncertainty, and disruption caused by the diagnosis often linger long after treatment. It changes us—physically, emotionally, and mentally. It can strain our finances, our relationships,
and our confidence, leaving us feeling unanchored and unsure of what's next.
During treatment, many of us live in survival mode, fighting for our lives. We push through harsh treatments and their often-lasting side effects, even on the days when we feel like we have nothing left to give. And somehow, we keep going. The love and support from
our medical teams, family, and friends help keep us afloat, providing strength when we need it most.
But surviving doesn’t always bring the joy we expect. Many survivors, myself included, find that the post-treatment phase isn’t filled with the happiness we had imagined. In fact, studies show that over 20% of survivors experience depression in the first year after treatment. If I hadn’t lived it, I might not have believed it myself.
Cancer leaves a lasting imprint, both on our bodies and on our nervous systems. It can trigger PTSD-like symptoms, leaving us feeling lost, confused, and drained. We may not recognize the person we see in the mirror anymore—our bodies, our energy, and even our goals may have changed. It’s common to feel disconnected from who we were and uncertain of who we are becoming.
My oncology team shared with me how often survivors struggle with emotional and mental challenges post-treatment. It was then that I realized I wasn’t alone in feeling this way. Through my trauma recovery training, I’ve learned that these responses are a natural part of healing from a traumatic experience. Our minds and bodies gave everything to survive, and now, they need care, time, and attention to heal fully.
If you feel lost, overwhelmed, or even guilty for not being “happier,” please know that you are not alone. I see you, and I understand the complexities of this phase of healing. Together, we can create a compassionate space for you to process the trauma, rediscover your wholeness, and cultivate more joy in this new chapter of your life.
If you're ready to start this journey, I'm here to support you. Let’s walk this path together and bring more light into your life post-treatment.
