A diagnosis can change everything. What comes next is a journey.
These six short stories follow one path through diagnosis, uncertainty and living with cancer. They are drawn from my experience with glioblastoma, but the journey is not about one cancer.
The diagnosis may be different. The treatment may be different. The prognosis may be different. But many of the questions remain: How do I accept where I am? Where am I going? Who do I need around me? What can I learn and do? How do I keep moving forward?
There is no formula and no promise of a particular outcome. Only ways of thinking about what we can do with what we know, what we don’t know, and what remains possible.
