Cure magazine shared the story of Sue Tony, an acute myeloid leukemia survivor, to illustrate the challenges that cancer survivors face when changing careers after cancer.

Our Chief Mission Officer, Rebecca Nellis, was quoted saying, “The cancer experience for some is eye-opening, and there’s a drive for more meaning in their work or flexibility in their work.
