Author Insight

Chapter Nine - My Life Changed Forever

During treatment, there can be an avalanche of information and a large amount of support. Once treatment stops, what do you go back to doing? What does "back to normal" look like? What are the things you can no longer do, what do you leave behind?

Book Excerpt

Waves of Pink II: Common Ground, Uncommon Courage

Finishing active treatment is a strange feeling. On one hand, I was so relieved to be done and celebrated this accomplishment with my friends and family. On the other hand, it was like being adrift on a raft. I was just going where the current took me. I missed the comfort and security of going to the cancer center. I know it sounds strange, but during that time I was an active fighter. Now, I just have to wait and see, and I don’t do wait-and-see very well. I needed to feel in control and actively fight any chance of recurrence.
