I have had a few years to reflect on my experience with cancer now and thought I was more over it than I am. I started researching in November, a lot of it was looking at side effects that I experienced or potential issues down the line I face as someone who had chemo. It has always interested me to learn about, even when I was ill but it is also so overwhelming. Moving to another city when I started uni was very much an escape from it and I buried a lot of the emotions I had around it.
