My diagnosis of breast cancer when I was 42 resulted in a course of chemotherapy and a mastectomy, followed by more chemotherapy and radiotherapy in the months afterwards. As a mother of two children and a wife, I felt totally overwhelmed by my situation, and didn’t really know where to turn.
By chance, I came across the Cancer Information Centre at the BRI, which is jointly run by the hospital
and Cancer Support. There, I realised that there was a whole range of services, some practical, some
personal, to help me with my situation. I was able to get advice – I didn’t even realise I might be entitled to any help with access to benefits, but an adviser guided me through the process. I liked the fact that this help was available over the phone – I didn’t always want to smothered by people helping out. I also benefited from some lovely complementary therapy sessions, which were lovely and girly, and made me feel myself again, just for a while. Talking to the therapist about my feelings, fears and inner pain was so helpful. There are things you just can’t talk about with your family and friends. I felt so isolated initially, and I really don’t know how I could have coped without Cancer Support Bradford and Airedale. Now I really do feel that there is light at the end of the tunnel, and with their support I am now getting on with my life.
