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€œHi, you. I was where you are nearly four years ago. Telling the kids without the word cancer at first. That was my life. This week I went back to my evening class. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. One day at a time.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€

  • 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€
