Cancer can be a traumatic experience in both mind and body. Once treatment ends many of us struggle with the fear of recurrence. But what if happens when you discover that your cancer has returned? Olivia Clarke was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015. At the end of 2021, her cancer returned. Despite the challenges she faced, she found humour in her own little ways, and eventually formed an online community where she helps people who are undergoing cancer treatment by raising money and awareness with her blog Humor Beats Cancer.
