Some days, I still feel caught between the person I was before cancer and the one I’m becoming after. There’s a soft ache in that space… a guilt I never expected to carry. People assume life goes back to “normal” after cancer, but cancer survivors know the truth — nothing goes back. Your body changes. Your mind changes. Your heart changes. And sometimes you feel guilty for not being who you once were. But I’m learning that healing after cancer isn’t about returning to the old version of myself.
