The level of distress, maybe the kind of trauma response, like I really genuinely sat in that office back in February 2022 with the doctors thinking when they started using words like metastatic in stage four, I looked at them and thought, well, you know, I'm not going to survive this.

And, you know, I had to find ways and I knew that I knew I needed the medical treatment, but I had to find ways to cope with that and to cope with that voice in my head.

You know, I am living proof that the science on the medicine out there when it comes to cancer is incredible.

And, you know, I wouldn't be, you know, 10 years ago, the treatment that I'm on didn't exist.

The medical treatment didn't exist.

So, you know, there's every hope that I will continue to live a healthy life.

But I knew that I needed to do that with the psychological and still need to do that with the psychological support.

One hundred percent.

Be kind to yourself and there's always help and support and there's always hope.
