When you are diagnosed with a disease like cancer, they don't tell you how much emotional work you are going to have to do throughout every step of the diagnosis, treatment, and survival process. In this episode, I take you through some of my worst fears at the moment, and how I am processing them. I also speak to the famous phrase "you are so strong" - and although well intended, what that may feel like for people battling sickness, and how important it is for us to create our own definitions of these broad terms.
