Cancer Changes Everything. Love Remains. ❤️

Cancer changes so much about our lives. Our routines, our priorities, our plans for the future.
But one thing cancer can never take away is the love we give and receive. ❤️

Sometimes, love is what helps us get through the hardest days.

To everyone facing cancer, and to everyone standing beside someone who is — you are not alone. 💚

Tag someone whose love has made a difference in your journey. 💕

Cancer doesn’t only affect the body.
There’s also the fear.
The waiting.
The uncertainty.
The thoughts that come in the middle of the night.
The endless “what ifs.”

I know those moments because I’ve lived them.

That’s why I created Finding Steady Ground — a free weekly conversation for people facing cancer.

This isn’t a lecture or a webinar.

It’s a place where we can talk openly about what we’re going through, support one another, and explore simple ways to find a little more calm when fear takes over.

Our first conversation is:

📅 Tuesday, October 6
🕛 12:00 PM Calgary time
💙 Free to attend
🌐 Online

Our first topic will be:

When Fear Takes Over

If you’re facing cancer — whether you were recently diagnosed, going through treatment, waiting for results, or living with the fear of recurrence — you are welcome.

You don’t have to carry every difficult moment alone. ❤️

You don't have to know what to write to start journaling.

During my cancer journey, journaling became another way for me to process what was happening inside me.

Some days there was fear.

Some days there was anger.

Some days there was gratitude and hope.

And sometimes all of those emotions existed at the same time.

If you don't know where to begin, try these three questions:

💚 What am I feeling right now?
💚 What am I afraid of?
💚 What do I need today?

Then write without worrying about grammar, spelling, or whether your thoughts make sense.

This isn't about creating something anyone else will read.

It's about creating a safe place for you to be completely honest.

And when you've finished, take one slow breath and ask yourself:

"Is there anything I can put down for today?"

You don't have to solve your whole life on one page.

Sometimes writing it down is enough for this moment.

I asked for a second opinion because I needed to understand why I was still receiving radiation after my CT scan showed no detectable tumors.

The explanation I received was that radiation had been part of the treatment plan created when I was first diagnosed.

So I asked:

"Why wasn't the plan reconsidered when my situation changed?"

The doctor looked at me.

He didn't answer.

I have never forgotten that moment.

It reinforced something I had already begun learning:

Being a patient doesn't mean giving up your voice.

Ask what the goal of your treatment is.

Ask about the expected benefits.

Ask about short- and long-term risks.

Ask whether new information changes the original plan.

And when you need more clarity, ask whether another medical opinion would be appropriate.

You don't have to be a medical expert to participate in decisions about your own body.

💙 Tomorrow, I'm going to pause before starting the next chapter and look back at everything this first journey taught me.

This is my personal recollection of my cancer treatment. Cancer treatment is individualized, and a scan showing no detectable cancer does not necessarily mean additional treatment has no benefit. Treatment decisions should be discussed with your oncology team or another qualified specialist.
