From people who came through it

  • 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€

  • 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€

  • 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€œIf you've just found this place, eighteen months ago I was exactly where you are. Back then it was work asking when I will be back. These days I mostly feel like me. You're not on your own.โ€
