I’m Olivia Clarke and I’m a cancer survivor. ​I almost knock on wood every time I say those words because I’m always afraid my cancer will visit my doorstep again. I experience moments where I feel like a rock star and moments where I wonder if every new ache or bump is a sign of cancer coming back.

There have been moments during this entire cancer business when I couldn’t help at laugh at the crazy questions I’m answering and how in-depth I get about my breasts (I had breast cancer). I have chuckled when some medical staff folks forget that I’m not their great aunt or their grandma with cancer. I am working and now dating. And, I’m trying to be a good aunt, sister, daughter and friend to those around me. Life keeps on going regardless of what disease I’m battling.
