Some people dance in the rain, others eat donuts on the way to cancer treatment. Is it possible for cancer treatment to make you feel like a better version of you? Probably not for all of us, but for today’s guest, Tannis McDonald, this was certainly the case. 

Tannis is a long-time cancer legend, who stared down cancer as a teenager. This is a remarkable story of parental choices, teenage coping, new treatments in the 80s, and learning to find the joy and positivity amongst the hard moments. Tannis shares how comfortable she has become in the cancer world, how she embraced her treatment, and sought to step into a different, perhaps even more joyous, mode of herself.
