Sherrie and Teneille McBain have been navigating the aftermath of a leukaemia diagnosis since Teneille was one year old. Now 17, their journey reveals truths most people never consider: treatment ends, but the educational impacts don't. Getting diagnoses for "late effects" proved nearly impossible. Finding the right school environment took years. In this raw, honest conversation, mother and daughter share what they wish others understood about life after childhood cancer, the gaps in the system that still need filling, and why "normal" becomes the hardest thing to achieve.
