Biggest take-away(s) from your cancer experience
I have learned that with support and persistence, you can truly accomplish anything you set your mind to.
Any other comments about survivorship and resilience?
I’d want to point out that with all the organizations, like MHH, that provide support for young survivors, it truly has been so easy to find silver linings in an experience with cancer.
