06/01/16 I have met some incredible people over the time I have been a member of the exclusive club that no-one really wants to be a member of, the 'Cancer Club' and I soon realised that I may not have the talent to be an author like Mark Davies who wrote the book 'Saving My Arse' (Bowel Cancer: A Survivor's Story) but I may be able to help just one other person with the isolation of a cancer diagnosis.
I know that no matter how much family support you have the only people that really know what it is like to live with cancer is someone who has had it or has got it. For those of you who know me will understand when I say "you know what I mean". I use it all the time when I am supporting a new member of the 'club' and can see in them how we hold back. Support is important so I have created a facebook group called Phoenix where we can chat and arrange activities whether it be walking or having a coffee, early days though.
I am not underestimating my family support however talking to another cancer club member is totally different, "you know what I mean"...............
