Carmen Monge-Montero: 11 Lessons Cancer Taught Me

Carmen Monge-Montero, Researcher and patient advocate at Youth Cancer Europe, posted on LinkedIn:

“Hi Network!

In this video, I want to share 11 Lessons Cancer Taught Me, after 11 years of being diagnosed.

Since then, I’ve not only learned to navigate my own journey but also had the privilege to meet amazing cancer survivors from all over the world.  In my latest video for MANO Survivors, I share 11 important lessons I’ve learned—about mental health, stigma, culture, and even finding beauty in the connections we create as survivors. These lessons have shaped the way I see life, advocacy, and how we can support one another.

Watch the full video here.

I hope this inspires anyone navigating their own journey or supporting others through theirs. Let’s continue to raise awareness, fight for equal access to care, and share our stories to break the stigma around cancer.

I’d love to hear from you! What lessons have you learned from your own experiences or from the survivors in your life?”
