My biggest change was learning how to take care of myself and achieving a better work/life balance. Like many women, before cancer I tended to take better care of everyone around me than I did of myself, and to prioritize work more than anything else in my life. It was hard, and sometimes it still is, but I have learned to do better self-care in every realm: physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
