One of the biggest misconceptions about cancer survivorship is that there’s a moment when everything goes back to normal.
After nearly 30 years of supporting young adults through their cancer journeys, we have learned that survivorship is often less about returning to who you were and more about discovering who you’re becoming.

That process can take years. It can be messy and confusing and frustrating — and it often requires people who understand the feelings and moments that are hardest to put into words.

Mike’s latest story reflects on that journey and the impact that finding the right community had on his search for purpose within himself. Thank you, Mike for continuing to share your journey with us.
