what they don't tell you about cancer treatment

The brutal truth about my thyroid cancer journey isn't what you'd expect. While doctors promised I'd "return to normal," post-treatment reality includes persistent fatigue, brain fog, and medication side effects nobody warned me about. People's sympathy has an expiration date too. Initially supportive, they eventually expect you to function normally despite ongoing illness. TV portrays cancer patients as devastated or heroic, but my experience was different—just mild annoyance followed by frustration at how treatment diminished my quality of life. Anyone else has similar experiences as me? #CancerSurvivor #ChronicIllness #PatientAdvocacy #ThyroidCancer #HonestRecovery
