Sharing General Instructions to Sharer:
Cancer Journey Sharing is essentially a storytelling of
experiences encountered from the time of recognition of
possible cancer to diagnosis, treatment, and after
treatment.
There is something cathartic about telling the story and
being heard. Going through the details of when something
happened, who was there, how we felt at that time and
how we feel now reminds us of how far we’ve come — and
how far we can still go!
