I'm a breast cancer survivor and one of the biggest surprises of my experience was how difficult life became after treatment.
There was so much information about what to expect during treatment, but far less about what to expect afterwards.
How do you reconnect with your body, process what happened, and figure out who you are when everyone expects life to simply go back to normal? Survivorship isn't the end of the story.

I chose these episodes because they speak honestly about that part of the experience, the identity shifts, body changes, fear, healing, humor, resilience, and complicated reality of moving forward.
