Welcome To Complicated Cancer!
Anyone out there surviving cancer, trying to recover after chemotherapy, supporting a loved one who is a warrior, or just thinking cancer sucks:
YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
No, I’m not there with you PHYSICALLY. That would be kind of creepy… But I am a cancer survivor who is dedicated to supporting other warriors and spreading awareness about cancer by sharing her story.
Welcome to my blog!
Here’s the truth:
Cancer is complicated.
Chemotherapy is complicated.
Recovery is complicated.
Supporting loved ones with cancer is complicated.
IT’S ALL COMPLICATED
But you don’t have to figure it out alone!
If you are looking for support, advice, information, encouragement, or want to help raise awareness about cancer,
Complicated Cancer is the place for you!
