We’re closing this series with a powerful collection of survivor voices—each one a testament to strength, resilience, and hope.
Survivors were invited to finish this sentence: “I’m not just a survivor, I’m a ________.”
Their words bring the conversation full circle, celebrating life beyond cancer and the many ways survivorship can be defined.

I’m not just a survivor, I’m a (coming up blank here. I’m lots of things, but it’s hard to put in one sentence). All our life experiences shape us into the person we are today. Cancer has definitely shaped me as well, but I would say it’s mostly shaped me in positive ways. I can be thankful for my cancer because I survived it. I’m not sure I’d be so thankful if I were still fighting it or if I thought it was terminal. It’s been over 6 years since diagnosis, and I am thankful I went through it so I can have more zest for life and appreciation for living. I was excited to turn 40, because not everyone gets to that milestone! Now I’m coming up on 45 🙂
