​"Our stories must be told. There is a desperate need to change the conversation around chronic cancer at this moment – a need to understand the constant mental trauma, stress and anxiety that comes alongside a long-time cancer. My wish is this book empowers and educates others so they ask for help and know that they are not alone. We walk this journey together."
