It can also carry a quiet, heavy burden known as survivor’s guilt.This is the hidden side of life after cancer that doesn’t always get talked about. You may find yourself asking:Why did I survive when others didn’t?How do I celebrate my healing when someone else’s story ended differently?Do I even deserve this second chance?These questions are painful, but they are also deeply human.This week on the Living to Thrive with Cancer podcast, I’m diving deeper into this tender subject in my new episode: Survivor’s Guilt.
