The Mirror and the Mind

Week 2: The Story Beneath The Diagnosis Series

There’s a moment—often quiet, often alone—when you catch your reflection and feel the shift. Maybe it’s the scar. The hair loss. The weight change. Maybe it’s something harder to name.

The mirror doesn’t just show your body. It shows your story. And sometimes, that story feels unfamiliar.

Cancer rearranges more than cells. It reshapes identity. You grieve the version of yourself that felt whole, untouched, known. And yet, even in the unfamiliar, there is strength. There is beauty. There is you.

This week, we honor the evolving self. Not by rushing to acceptance, but by gently making space for the grief, the grace, and the rediscovery.
