“When I was first diagnosed I set some key

values to help me manage during treatment.

They’ve given me strength at times when I’ve

needed to focus day to day instead of on the

overwhelming nature of this journey. They are:

Courage – be brave, gather knowledge, and

remember I can only control the controllable.

Heart – smile lots, be positive.

Trust – the process, myself, the health

professionals and the outcome. Rachel ”
