Miranda reads her essay “Going At It Not So Alone” from the 2019 “Social” issue of Wildfire Magazine.  Miranda’s piece is about finding her people in Cancer Land. April and Miranda will talk about what it’s like for Miranda to read this essay she wrote 5 years ago, on being a long term survivor, finding peer support, and advice on taking small steps to make community connections.  They will also discuss Miranda’s decision to stay working in Cancer Land.
