why cancer becomes the unspoken word

When I got diagnosed, I never expected the social awkwardness. Some people show genuine care, but others? One coworker literally avoided me for an ENTIRE YEAR then suddenly started talking again like nothing happened. Talking about my cancer journey feels healing for me, but I've learned it's like mentioning Voldemort to most people - instant discomfort. Fellow survivors, how do you navigate these weird social dynamics? #CancerTalk #BreakingTheStigma #SurvivorStories #HealthConversations
