From people who came through it

  • โ€œI was in the same place this time last year. The taste of metal in everything, every single day. This week I went back to my evening class. The bad days get further apart.โ€

    Margarita I ยท been through living with cancer
  • โ€œFor whoever is where I was: A few years back, that was me. For me it was scanxiety before every check. I went on holiday in the summer and actually relaxed. It comes back slowly, like feeling in your fingers after the cold.โ€

    Night shift nurse in Sรฃo Paulo ยท been through living with cancer
  • 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€
