Those of us who have been through cancer know that surviving the treatment is not where the journey ends--in fact, for many of us, that is when the most difficult part of the journey begins.
The Cancer Misfit is a self-help book to help survivors navigate life after treatment. It is a life raft to carry and support when doctors, friends, and family have gone "back to normal" and assumed the survivor can do the same. It is a declaration that your best life and most beautiful self was not the person you were before the diagnosis, but the person you are today; that you have become even more beautiful and powerful because of the hell you went through, and that the greatest chapter of your life is yet to come.
After the initial diagnosis, the focus is wholly on cancer. Then the treatment stops and some survivors struggle to move on, feeling like they've been left in limbo; stuck in a no man's land between who they used to be before the diagnosis and who they are today. This is how Saskia felt after she was given the "all clear": she was a Cancer Misfit, recovered physically, but spiritually and emotionally still healing. The journey she went on informed the pathway towards healing and rebirth she shares in this book.
The Cancer Misfit will help survivors to let go of what was, and to embrace what is and what will be. The book will introduce them to the person they have become and show them the way to embrace their new life, and live their greatest chapter yet.”
