Title: The emotional impact of diagnosis
“When you get a cancer diagnosis, a lot of people say that it makes you take stock
of your life, makes you stop. I don’t think I was so out of touch with my life that
I hadn’t already done that, but the diagnosis definitely makes you reprioritize.
And it makes you think about whether things that you’re doing are really the most
important things to do at the time you’re doing them. And there is also a sense
while you’re going through treatment that you’re watching yourself having treatment
that, ‘How can this be happening to me?’”
