A WOMAN’S GUIDE TO CALM, COMFORT & HEALING If you’re navigating a cancer journey If you’re feeling overwhelmed, alone and afraid If you long to feel understood and supported If you’re needing guidance and clarity (Or supporting a loved one who is) HEARING THOSE THREE WORDS ‘YOU HAVE CANCER’ ARE THE SCARIEST WORDS WE COULD EVER HEAR Facing a diagnosis and navigating the bumpy terrain of treatment is a path we would never choose for ourselves.
