Emily has been one of my first "online" cancer friends and she has been an inspiration to watch fight her way through cancer. In this episode, Emily talks about her cancer journey and what it is like to receive the scariest news for anyone in the cancer community. We also talk about cancer as a young adult, in the topics of dating, college, and work.
About Emily:
Emily is a 28 year old Canadian who loves to binge read books, and will always laugh at a dad joke! She has endured an Ewing sarcoma diagnosis three times since turning 20, and acquired a physical disability in her right arm after a surgery to remove a tumour in her humerus. For as long as she can remember, she has always had a notebook where she would create stories or write poems, and she has used this passion to write about her experience with cancer and disability in the hopes of helping others.
