"Life altering" for all and not just limited to an "event" for many.

Sharing the true reality of impacts, including those that persist long after treatment highlights that, as we prolong life, we need more attention to the QUALITY of life!

To all my fellow carcinomies: keep talking and keep sharing your experiences. Cancer is a life altering "event" that must never be silenced.
Here's to 2025🥂
