He talks about developing resilience skills by connecting with people, setting boundaries, communicating with the medical team, practicing hope, and my favorite, telling your story to give your life meaning. He asks a thought provoking question: Are you a cancer survivor everywhere in your life, or is it a part of your life and doesn’t define your existence? Is cancer something that happened to me, or is it something I am? The answer can lead to different actions and help to build resilience. Start today by exploring the parts of yourself you like as you journey through surviving cancer.
