CURE MAGAZINE
I have written some for Cure Today both to make sense of my experiences and to help others with their cancer journeys. Archived "Voices" contributions may be found at CURE, a publication for cancer patients, survivors, and caregivers. You will find other great advice from various survivors with a range of cancer experiences as well. Here are links to samples, writing from the heart that I have shared to help give back to the cancer community that has helped me to survive:
- Dealing with Lymphedema in the Home Office
- What I Did Wrong: Advice for Future Cancer Survivors
- How to Pray About Cancer (Without Upsetting Everybody)
- How I'm Handling Pinktober this Year
- Nudes and Breast Cancer: Personal Documentary and Art
- Breast Cancer and Dementia: One Caregiver's Story
- Advice on Learning to Listen, or Not, after the Cancer Diagnosis
- Team Spirit for Team Cancer
- When Cancer Invites Random Acts of Kindness
