Title: Life with a disability and rare cancer

Summary: An illness affecting the brain combined with an amputation give rise to a whole new way of thinking and being. How would you adapt?

I have lived with a disability for three years since I had viral encephalitis. Last year I was also diagnosed with a rare aggressive cancer and had part of my hand amputated.

I’m adapting to life with a different brain and a different body.
