You've survived cancer treatment - now what?
The Cancer Misfit is here to support you when doctors, friends and family have gone 'back to normal' and assumed you can do the same. It's a life raft to help you navigate life after cancer treatment; to help you live better, think better and feel better and show you how to embrace your new future.
After the treatment stops it can be difficult to know how to move on, and many survivors feel stuck in limbo between who they used to be before the diagnosis and who they are today. This is how Saskia felt when she was told the treatment was she felt like a Cancer Misfit, recovered physically, but mentally and emotionally still healing. Now, Saskia shares the tools that enabled her to become the happiest version of herself she has ever known.
In these pages, you'll find the truth - that your best life and most beautiful self was not the person you were before your cancer diagnosis, but the person you are today; that you've become even more powerful because of the hell you went through, and that the greatest chapter of your life is here and now.
The Cancer Misfit will introduce you to the person you've become as a consequence of the trauma you endured and help you to embrace your new life after treatment; a life full of confidence, happiness and peace.

I liked the idea of this book; that making it through cancer treatment often leaves a person a bit at sea. Her ideas of moving forward, that you can't go back, and forward is beautiful, is spot on. And a fair amount of her advice around positivity, mindfulness, affirmations, etc, was really good. There are some excellent exercises. But I struggled a bit with some of the tone and some of the spiritual advice. Still I think this book could be of real benefits to folks who have or had cancer.

This book found me at the right time in my cancer journey - wondering where to go from here. I cried for most of this book, as I felt very understood and validated in what I’ve been through and am going through.
This is a very spiritual and self-help style book, however. That was very much the style I was after, so I loved it and will return to passages again. If you are looking for something medically motivated, you will likely want to skip this one!
