The emotional toll that gets glossed over once the bell has been rung. Thanks for opening my eyes to the scar tissue.

I hope it helps others going through this. It’s one of the - things that stays with you. And I’m like the least fearful person - unless it’s heights - That I know. But it creeps up every time I get some weird ailment.

I get it. I think it will definitely help others. It helped me and I haven't been through it.

Thanks so much—I’m really glad it spoke to you. Writing about surviving cancer has been such an unexpected way to connect with people. It honestly feels like making real friends. I think about them, worry about how they’re doing. We learn so much from each other’s stories, even the hard parts. That shared experience really matters.
