We are currently accepting submissions for an upcoming special edition of Elephants and Tea focused on the experiences of navigating a blood cancer diagnosis.

We are looking to hear from blood cancer patients, survivors, and caregivers who would like to share their stories, reflections, challenges, and moments of resilience with our community.

No two experiences are the same, and we hope to create space for honest, vulnerable, and diverse stories from across the community.

Today's new story is called "Stolen Glances" by Neil Stackhouse.

"And so, the “new normal” became speaking through an app on my phone. Breathing through a hole in my neck. More rounds of intensive chemotherapy and radiation treatments, which killed about a third of my jawbone. On and on. Even more missing pieces. Even more stolen glances."
-Neil Stackhouse

You can still register for our next session of STEEP tonight!

Sometimes numbness shows up quietly: emotionally, mentally, physically, or spiritually. It can feel confusing, isolating, or even protective.

Join us tonight for STEEP (Sitting Together with Empathy and Emotional Perseverance) as we hold space for an honest conversation around “Numbness.”

You do not have to navigate it alone.

What gets us through?

Sometimes it’s the people. Sometimes it’s the quiet moments. Sometimes it’s humor, distraction, love, survival mode, stolen glances, or simply making it through one more day.

Our June 2026 issue, What Gets Us Through, is officially here! Featuring powerful pieces like "Somewhere Between Scrolling and Surviving", "Help Getting Through", "Stolen Glances", and "Not a Bucket List", this issue explores the many ways AYAs navigate life during and after cancer.

Thank you to the writers who trusted us with their stories and to this community for continuing to show up for one another.

Today's new story is called, "Not a Bucket List," by Amy Johnson.

"Time can be savored to some extent—
but it cannot be coddled.
It cannot be stopped.
It is plowing past us,
raging onward toward the future."
-Amy Johnson
