Forcing Forward After Cancer

We talk about moving forward into the future after cancer treatment and into recovery.

  • Everything hurts more after cancer: resist the urge to live in the trauma or play the victim.

  • Acknowledge the shittiness of the situation, but don’t live there.

  • Cancer + Fertility + Uncertainty = ??

  • No one picks their cancer, but behaviors can influence cancer.

  • Cancer starts in the in between epithelial transferal liminal spaces--where things mix.

  • Prepare for the apocalypse if it helps.

  • Channel your inner zen master.

  • Forcing forward can be good--it’s a sign of hope.

  • Maybe plan a little bit less for the future. Sit back and enjoy the ride.

  • Maybe you have to have plans and goals--if that’s what keeps you going.

  • A dream without a plan is just a wish.
