As a cancer survivor, I know that life after treatment can bring uncertainty and loneliness that others cannot understand. I also know it is possible to move forward with confidence, clarity, and strength.
Moving on after a cancer diagnosis can be incredibly lonely and confusing as you try to heal your body, repair your spirit, and figure out “what’s next.” Support from friends, family, and doctors can be strong in the beginning but start to fade as you transition away from treatment.
You may feel lonely because even your closest family and friends are unable to understand why you can’t just “go back to normal” or be who you were before cancer. You yourself may be feeling unsettled with the changes you have gone through as a result of your illness. Changes that may have you confused about who you are now and if you still want the same things you did before you got sick. On top of those feelings of isolation and confusion, you may be scared of the cancer returning or of not being able to live up to what you feel like you “should be” as a survivor.
Are you A Survivor struggling with life after treatment?
You may be asking yourself:
- Who am I now?
- How do I take control of my health?
- Do I deserve to want more or should I just be thankful that I survived?
- What DO I really want?
Imagine a healthy, vibrant version of yourself.
Returning back to normal can feel anything but normal when you’ve changed inside and out in ways you have only begun to recognize. What once mattered may not be important anymore, yet you might not know how to take steps to live a life aligned with your newfound priorities and perspectives. You may find yourself living by default of who you were before and what others expect of you or being so paralyzed by fear, rather than pursuing what you truly desire.
You are worthy of prioritizing YOU. Less stress, better sleep, more exercise, healthy eating. Survivorship care and support is simple but not always easy. Working with a coach to adjust your life in ways that work for you sets you up for sustainble, long-term change. My goal in our work together is for you to emerge from cancer as your best self- on your terms and how you want.
“After my breast cancer diagnosis, surgeries, and recovery, I was really struggling mentally with being back at work. I just didn’t care about the job and career I had been building for 25 years. After just a few meetings with Erika, we uncovered a lot of old baggage that had been swirling around in my head. Baggage that was sapping my energy and limiting my ability to enjoy my job day-to-day, and my career in general. My cancer experience only made all of that mental junk come to the surface. With Erika’s coaching, I am now able to recognize a lot of my negative thoughts around my job for what they are, junk. I feel like I am back in the swing of things, my stress is lower than it’s ever been, and I am feeling much more positive at work. Thank you, Erika!!” –JG
