Hey there, fellow trailblazers of the cancer journey, and welcome to a space where spreadsheets meet trainers, where family bonds are as strong as your morning run, and where the unexpected twist of cancer becomes just another part of life's marathon.

I'm Shikha, your friendly neighbourhood number cruncher, pavement pounder, devoted daughter, and sister extraordinaire. And yeah, I've had my fair share of curveballs – like that unexpected diagnosis of bowel cancer.

But here's the thing: I'm not just a survivor; I'm a thriver, and I'm here to prove it. Fresh from the battlefield of successful surgery, I'm strapping on my running shoes and stepping into a whole new chapter of the cancer journey.

You see, being 28, an accountant, and a runner all at once might seem like a juggling act – add in the curveball of cancer, and it's like spinning plates on a unicycle. But hey, who said life was supposed to be easy, right?

Now, I find myself in this unique space – not quite a young adult, but not quite settled into the responsibilities of family life and kids. And if there's one thing I've learned, it's that sometimes, the community you need doesn't come knocking on your door – you've got to roll up your sleeves and build it yourself.

So, to all the warriors out there navigating the maze of cancer while juggling the demands of a job and the absence of family obligations – you're not alone. If you're struggling, chances are someone else out there is too. And if you're looking for a community that gets it, well, you've just found your tribe.

This isn't just about me – it's about us. It's about sharing the highs, the lows, and the hilariously unexpected moments that come with navigating life after cancer. It's about being real, being raw, and being there for each other, no matter what.

So, let's lace up our shoes, crunch some numbers, and dive headfirst into the adventure of a lifetime. Because here, in this vibrant community we're building together, every story shared, every tear shed, and every laugh echoed is a step closer to healing – for me, for you, and for anyone who stumbles upon our digital sanctuary.

Welcome to "My Cancer Companion" – where laughter is the best medicine, and no one fights alone. Let's dive in and discover the beauty of life after the storm.
