In this week’s episode of Slightly Radiated, Fully Human, we dive into the myth of linear recovery after cancer. What happens when healing doesn’t go to plan - our plan? What happens when fatigue, brain fog, or old symptoms return years later?
Together we unpack the frustration of “taking three steps back,” the guilt that comes with needing medication again, and the impatience that flares up when the body demands rest. Through our usual honest conversation, we explore how recovery is more of a winding, serpentine (sometimes tortuous) path than the straight climb we wish it were - and how our bodies often whisper (or shout) for attention long before we listen.
This is an episode about patience, and making peace with the slow rhythm of healing. It’s about stumbling and making it part of the dance rather than a failure.
