From people who came through it

  • โ€œIf you've just found this place, a year and a half ago I was exactly where you are. For me it was the oncologist who talks to the screen not to me. Today I went for a walk and didn't cry once. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. One day at a time.โ€

  • โ€œFor whoever is where I was: I've been there. For me it was two years ago. I remember a port fitted under the collarbone like it was yesterday. This morning I sang in the car. It's slow, but it does come back. Keep going, even slowly.โ€

  • โ€œI was where you are nearly four years ago. For me it was a friend who stopped calling after the diagnosis. My kids say I'm back. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. One day at a time.โ€

  • โ€œWhen I was first diagnosed, I didn't know what to say to my kids. I still don't have all the answers. What helped was small steps: a walk, a phone call, a nap. Don't rush to tell everyone. Take your time. The wig can wait. The tears come when they come. Just keep showing up for the next thing, even if it's just a cup of tea.โ€
