Have you found yourself using air quotes to describe your “new normal” after receiving a cancer diagnosis? For our first NEW NORMAL theme in six years, we are looking for stories exploring how your life not only differs from how it used to be, but from those around you — and how you’ve learned to accept the changes. How do you spend your time now? What occupies your mind? What do you crave for others to understand about your NEW NORMAL? Tell your story of how you’ve come to land in a place that is normal to you and the lessons learned along the way.
