Growing up, Shannon recalls always feeling a bit uncomfortable in her own skin. As she entered her 20’s, she finally started to feel more comfortable and settled with her life, when she received the news no one wants to hear; “you have cancer”. Shannon had many ups and downs throughout her cancer journey, but she knows it taught her a lot about herself and gave her a life perspective she wouldn’t have today. She now works in a hospital as a Patient Navigator with teens and young adults to help others feel more supported throughout their own journeys.
