“Let me tell you right now that the ego is the most cunning and devious creature you will ever have to deal with. There is no man, woman, child, animal, rock, mineral, tree or sea monster you will ever meet that is as dark, pessimistic or challenging.”
Saskia Lightstar, The Cancer Misfit: A Guide to Navigating Life After Treatment

“You don’t need to fit into any square, round or triangular holes anymore. You don’t need to fit into a pretty package or be the same as everybody else. You just need to accept and love yourself exactly as you are.”
Saskia Lightstar, The Cancer Misfit: A Guide to Navigating Life After Treatment

“Those of us who have been through cancer know that surviving treatment isn’t where the cancer journey ends. In fact, for many of us, this is where the hardest part of the journey begins.”

“Where is the support and guidance for what comes after the treatment? Shouldn’t someone prepare us for what comes next?”
Saskia Lightstar, The Cancer Misfit: A Guide to Navigating Life After Treatment

Saskia Lightstar, The Cancer Misfit: A Guide to Navigating Life After Treatment

“For some of us, the hardest part of the cancer journey is surviving life AFTER treatment, the doctor tells us we should return to our lives and put the experience of cancer behind us but going through treatment fundamentally changes you forever and it’s impossible to go back to the life we knew before.”
Saskia Lightstar, The Cancer Misfit: A Guide to Navigating Life After Treatment

“Those of us who have been through cancer know that surviving treatment isn’t where the journey ends. In fact, for many of us, this is when the hardest part of the cancer journey begins.”
