Partners
When I first came to the hospital, I didn't see anyone else my own age with whom I could connect or strike up a conversation. I felt isolated and restricted.
Seeing Macmillan booklets and posters was really helpful in making me feel like I wasn't fighting this battle alone.
I strive to give back in whatever I do today since each charity helped me when I needed it.
Now, I feel like it's my duty to be there for others - especially younger patients - offer them advice, guidance, and hopefully inspire them that there isn't someone like me out there.
All donations and proceeds support Macmillan and Guy's Cancer.
Guy's Cancer
The Cancer Centre at Guy's is a place for cancer treatment and outpatients, treating many different cancer types, offering chemotherapy, radiotherapy, drug biological target therapies, surgery, transplants, as well as supportive care through the Dimbleby Cancer Care drop-in information and support centre.
Macmillan Cancer Support
Macmillan Cancer Support is one of the largest British charities and provides specialist health care, information and financial support to people affected by cancer. It also looks at the social, emotional and practical impact cancer can have, and campaigns for better cancer care.
