Staying in tune with those empathetic perfectionist traits I mention in this video, I feel compelled to add that I don’t always feel a sort of fear or negativity as I build distance from my initial cancer diagnosis. There are many days of overwhelming happiness and gratefulness to be a cancer survivor; however, the progress is not as straightforward as I’d expected. I hope this can resonate with some people in a way that is still inspiring rather than disappointing or confusing.
