The Cancer Hangover - Life After Cancer (and other major life events)

CCnDoc Talk

WAIT!!! Before you run off thinking this episode doesn’t apply to you, think again! The Cancer Hangover is a metaphor for any major life event, illness or what we call in our book “Courageous Money”, A Life Falls Event. Any event that causes upheaval or major transition in your life qualifies for “hangover” status if you are coming out of the fog and re-adjusting to a new reality!

February 4th was World Cancer Day and we thought it a perfect time to talk about what life after cancer in our household is looking like. Yes, those who are fortunate to be cancer free after their battles have everything to be grateful for, but it doesn’t mean there isn’t sometimes an adjustment period afterward. We call it the “Bewilderment Zone.” A “Where do we go from here?” kind of place where you’re striving to get a foothold on what in many cases is a new, yet undefined you! If you are in a partnership, this can be even more interesting.

Today we are not discussing so much the physical aspects of adjusting to life after cancer because everyone’s cancer journey is different. For instance in CC’s case, lots of extra trips to the bathroom in a day! But rather the emotional aspects. The things that are harder to see but just as important to sort out so you can live bold!
