Dr. Wendee Asks — Question 1

Hi friends, Dr. Wendee here.

Many people in survivorship quietly grieve the life they had before cancer — their routines, energy, roles, and sense of normal. This question invites gentle reflection on that often unspoken loss.

Question:
Have you found yourself grieving the life you had before cancer, and what parts of that life do you miss the most?

Share if you feel comfortable — your honesty may help someone else feel seen and less alone.

Daily Motivation

Progress doesn’t need to be visible to be real.

Even when changes can’t be seen, healing, growth, and resilience are still happening beneath the surface.

02/02/2026

Caregiving carries a financial weight that’s often unseen.

Many caregivers face rising out-of-pocket costs—from transportation and medications to medical supplies—while also cutting back work hours or leaving jobs altogether, putting added strain on household income.

Is it okay to grieve the life you had before cancer?

If this question has ever lived quietly in your heart, you are not alone.

Grief after cancer is real, complex, and often unspoken—and it deserves space and compassion.

In today’s WISE Corner, we’re naming this grief and reminding survivors that two truths can exist at once: gratitude for survival and mourning for what changed.

Daily Motivation

I acknowledge my courage, even when fear is present. Bravery isn’t the absence of fear—it’s choosing to keep going with compassion, strength, and hope.

Things you don’t know about cancer

Patients don’t always “look sick.”

Someone may seem healthy on the outside while managing treatments, side effects, and invisible struggles no one can see.

Self-Care Ideas for Patients & Caregivers

Engage in something that brings you joy.

A hobby, music, reading, or watching something comforting isn’t a distraction—it’s part of healing.

Joy, even in small moments, helps restore your energy and reminds you of who you are beyond the illness.
