Ep. 28: Scaling Mountains To Rebuild Her Life by Kate Zickel

It's not as simple as diagnosis, treatment plan, and recovery for us; survival is just the beginning. Cancer touches your life forever. Forever changing your relationships, your motivations, your passions, your priorities... everything. In today's episode I'm joined by Kate Zickel, who was diagnosed with breast cancer (the first in her family) in 2017 at just 29 years old. She's sharing her story and perspective on what "new normal" really means to a cancer survivor, how she found her strength to climb a literal mountain and rebuild her life in remission, and the positive changes she has seen in her life post-cancer. In today's episode, we explore: How Kate found the silver lining in her cancer journey. What the medical community doesn't tell you about surviving cancer. The identity crisis she was surprised to face as she entered remission and how she rebuilt her life after cancer. The fears Kate no longer has, and how her passions have changed. How the words "It's OK to not know where you are going" inspired her. Hear more from Kate Zickel: facebook.com/katekicksittocancer
