It was while undergoing treatment at the Royal Marsden Hospital that she was able to come into contact with several other cancer patients and realised there was a huge opportunity for people to share their stories and find comfort and solidarity at such a trying time. I do not want to die – I can’t get my head around the idea that I will not see my kids' weddings or see them grow up – that I will no longer be a part of life that I love so much."
