About us
Living with Cancer SA was established by Belinda Wagner in 2017, after being diagnosed with rare cancer. People who are impacted by cancer need a platform where they can share their experiences, support each other, gain courage and inspire hope
The Living With Cancer SA platform is for people diagnosed with any type of cancer and at any stage of their journey.
It is a platform where you can:
- Connect with other members
- Share your experience
- Gain emotional support
- Find information
- Ask questions
- Get advise on diet, exercise and ways to cope
“Cancer is a fast-growing priority around the world. In South Africa, it is estimated that the annual incidence of cancer cases will double from about 62 000 in 2019 to approximately 121 000 in 2030.¹ Advances in cancer research, detection, and treatment show that cancer can be beaten and should not be seen as a death sentence. However, I believe that people who are impacted by cancer must also have a place to go where they can learn about their diagnosis and have access to a safe network to share their emotions and experiences, support each other, and gain courage and inspire hope. That’s my goal with Living With Cancer SA.”
