During the Journey To Normalcy, we need not forget to celebrate when good things happen such as the unconditional love of your spouse, the laughter of children, and the excitement of starting a new job. We get so busy dealing with our physical health, we need to cherish and appreciate being able to go to work, contributing to our family income, and building a career.
You have such a great feeling of self worth when you get a job and someone believes that you have what it takes to help their company grow. They view your scars (physical and psychological) as an asset and not a detriment or a "Scarlet Letter". After all, this is what you have been fighting for, to be "normal".
Cancer and for some dealing with the physical issues once the tumors are gone naturally consume you, but you can't forget to live and enjoy life and enjoy what you do for a living. Take your experiences and use them as a positive. Employers will like that you look at things differently being a cancer survivor. Cancer doesn't define you, it is not the only thing about you, so live your life to the fullest and build your career or start a new one. The possibilities are endless.
