Julie McCrossin: What a bond I feel with people who have been through the cancer challenge of Head and Neck Cancer
Julie McCrossin posted the following on LinkedIn:
“Early to breakfast at our hotel in Nomad New York. A quiet lobby area with a continental breakfast. Self-serve or people to help. Still sleep disrupted but deeply relaxed. We’re meeting up later this morning with a fellow survivor of a Head and Neck Cancer, Kathleen, and her friend Joy.
What a bond I feel with people who have been through the brutal cancer challenge of Head and Neck Cancer. I hesitate to write ‘brutal’ because I don’t want to distress or frighten someone receiving treatment now, or about to receive treatment. Then I think, it is brutal. But with the support of a Multidisciplinary Cancer Team, and hopefully family and friends, we can survive and, in time, thrive within whatever ‘new normal’ life delivers us.
