From people who came through it

  • โ€œReading this late at night? I've been there. Two years ago, that was me. Arguing with the insurance about a scan. That was my life. I can talk about it now without falling apart. It comes back slowly, like feeling in your fingers after the cold. Keep going, even slowly.โ€

    Dale from Kitchener R ยท been through caring for someone with cancer
  • โ€œFor whoever is where I was: I was right where you are not that long ago, about a year. His mood swings on steroids, every single day. This morning I sang in the car. It changes. It really does. Sending love.โ€

    Senait ยท been through caring for someone with cancer
  • โ€œDear stranger, i was where you are eighteen months ago. For me it was driving him to radiotherapy every weekday at 8. I've started painting again. Praying for you.โ€

    Mawuli C. ยท been through caring for someone with cancer
  • โ€œI was in the same place eighteen months ago. For me it was crying in the car park before going in. I got a new job this spring. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. Praying for you.โ€
