TESTIMONIALS
“I hope that you will find connection and comfort from being part of the group. This group reminds us that we are not the only one fighting cancer, gives up hope when we share good news and a safe place to share when we are angry and scared. And in between we aim to live as fully as we can despite having cancer. This group is very special, and you will see we all have difficult but different journeys. I do get support and love from the group. Don’t feel you need to always be positive and brave. At times we need to say we are angry, scared, anxious. Acknowledge those feelings as it can be exhausting to pretend you are strong all the time. But then pick yourself up, focus on what’s good in your life, and take the next step forward.”

“I find so much support from the members of the group especially from one of the ladies that had lung cancer. We used to speak a lot before she passed earlier this year. She told me about the place where I can hire the oxygen machine from that I need for my condition. I still think a lot about her especially when I used my oxygen machine. Though I am quite quiet at the moment on the group, it’s always nice to see how the others support each other. We share info that can help others with similar cancers. A group like this helps a lot because we are supporting each other through the awful disease. So nice to be at a place of comfort, love and care. A place where a person can find encouragement.”
“You make me feel not alone. People understand, feel and grieve with me.”
“This special circle of people brought together by an inspirational couple. May your journey be one of healing.”

“Cancer can be an incredibly lonely journey, but fortunately for my mom she was part of your remarkable support group. Attending your monthly meetings and belonging to your WhatsApp group made my mom feel safe enough to share her own experiences and emotions with other warriors like yourselves. The cancer support group offered a great deal of comfort and strength to my mom knowing she was not alone, and other people were walking the same path as her. Friendship is a powerful aid in helping anyone heal form a physical illness and my mom often spoke of the comfort knowing that she was not alone. My mom always spoke so highly about the members of the support group and how she felt hopeful after your meetings. My family and I will be forever grateful to the support and love that you all gave to my mom on her journey”
