“I would like to send a huge thank you to you all for the support I have received throughout my cancer journey. Over the past 18 months or so, I have taken part in several online classes, I only wish I had found you earlier! I will now be recommending you to anyone I know who is starting their own journey.”
“Every Monday’s blood, every Wednesday’s chemo, and then from there, it's downhill to the next Wednesday. But in between that I can have my appearance classes or my eyebrow classes or my exercise. At least once a week I had a class where I had something fun to do, it's just given me a bit of a lease of life.”
