M.I.A. Falling Down a Rabbit Hole.

Ever heard of the phrase "down the rabbit hole"? Well, in this heartfelt piece, a fellow Neuroendocrine Cancer warrior takes us on a journey through their recent struggles. It all started with some confusing lab results that sent them spiraling into doubt and fear. But instead of staying stuck in that dark place, they found inspiration in a quote that reminds us healing isn't always a straight line.

They share some helpful tips they picked up along the way, like scheduling worry time (who knew that was a thing?) and finding happy distractions. And you won't believe it, but they even quote a Washington Post article about how our minds work! It's like having a chat with a friend who's been through it all.

But here's the best part—they come out the other side with a renewed sense of resilience and optimism. And with the support of NCAN and their loved ones, they know they're not in this fight alone. So, if you're dealing with similar struggles, or just need a bit of encouragement, this post is definitely worth checking out.
