@fightigbackagainstcancer: Things We Don’t Talk About Enough in Cancer. We talk about the diagnosis. The surgeries. The chemo. The radiation. The scans. But there’s an entire side of cancer that doesn’t get talked about nearly enough. The way cancer can change sex and intimacy—and how hard it can be to feel comfortable in your own body again. The strain it can put on a marriage, even when you love each other deeply. The reality of medical menopause, hormones, hot flashes, exhaustion, and changes you never saw coming. The financial stress of appointments, medications, missed work, deductibles, and bills that keep arriving long after treatment ends. The friendships that change. The people who disappear. And the unexpected people who show up. The anger. Because yes, you can be grateful to be alive and still be furious that this happened to you. The body image struggles when scars, hair loss, weight changes, surgeries, and medications leave you wondering who the person in the mirror is. Trying to parent while terrified, exhausted, sick, or simply trying to survive the day. The fear of recurrence that can turn an innocent headache, ache, or upcoming scan into a spiral of what ifs. And then there’s the emotional aftermath. Because surviving cancer doesn’t automatically erase what cancer did to you. Cancer isn’t only something that happens to your body. It can touch your marriage. Your family. Your friendships. Your finances. Your confidence. Your mental health. Your sense of safety. Your entire outlook on life. We need to talk about all of it. So let’s start here: What’s something cancer changed in your life that nobody prepared you for? 🎗️
