Let’s get started! Chapter 12!
So, I figured for this last chapter, I’d do this a little differently. I marked several of my favorite passages in this chapter but I’m really interested in hearing from you. This chapter had so much in it…relationships, fear of recurrence, fear of stage IV, marriage, reconciling our vision of ourselves, and much more. What resonated with you? What would your survivorship chapter include?
