1//? so i know this video by @billiamthies was created over two years ago at this point, but i want to say that i watched it as a fellow childhood cancer survivor and absolutely sobbed as my experience was so similar to his. i really recomend this video https://youtu.be/SA4SIKvrzNg ">https://youtu.be/SA4SIKvrz...
i rarely take the time to talk about my experiences having childhood cancer in the us and what that looked like for me because honestly, i’ll will be 8 years cancer free on july 16th of this year and i have processed very little of that trauma and only recently have i realized
this. but this pandemic has really forced me to look at the long term effects of my cancer and how my life will never be the same because of it. cancer directly gave me both the worst and the best moments of my life and that will be forever conflicting for me.
i was able to live in france solely because i received a wish from wishes can happen, but i also struggle with drug addiction directly caused by medical negligence during treatment. these two events along with so much else in my life cannot and should not be separated from that
experience. this thread is the unorganised ramblings of an individual who has not fully processed her experiences, but i truly recommend watching this video as a way to understand an experience i hope none of you ever have to have. beyond this, his content is incredibly engaging
regardless of the subject matter and i really enjoy his work. go watch his videos.
