This is a part of Debra Jarvis' speech at TED in 2014, which described what she learned when she was a cancer patient.
In 2005, it was at a big cancer center where I was working 1 I received the news that my mother had breast cancer. And then five days later, I received the news that I had breast cancer. My mother and I can be competitive, but I was really not trying to 2 with her on this one.
I learned a lot being a patient, and one of the surprising things was that only a small part of the cancer experience is about 3. Most of it is about feelings and faith, losing and 4 your identity, and discovering 5 you never even knew you had. It's about realizing that the most important things in life are not things at all, 6 relationships. It's about laughing in the 7 of uncertainty and learning that the way to get out of almost anything is to say: “I 8 cancer.”
So the other thing I 9 was that I don't have to 10 “cancer survivor” as my identity. Sometimes, it feels like people are too crazy 11 it and they start telling us how we're going to feel.
About a week after my operation, we had a houseguest. So at dinner that night, our houseguest said: “You know, Deb, now you're really going to learn what's 12. Yes, you are going to make some big changes in your life, and now you're going to start 13 about your death. Yep, this cancer is your wake-up call.” Now, these are golden 14 coming from someone who is speaking about their own experience, but when someone is telling you how you are going to feel, it doesn't 15. After my treatment, it just felt like everyone was telling me what my 16 was going to mean.
It was at that point where I felt like, oh my God, this is just 17 over my life. And that's when I told myself: Take charge of your experience. Don't let it 18 you. We all know that the way to deal with this unpleasant experience, with loss, with any life-changing experience, is to find 19. But here's the thing: No one can tell us what our experience means. We have to 20 what it means.
