📖 Life after is about more than medical recovery; it's about reclaiming connection, confidence, and community.

In the social well-being chapter of our new guide “𝘍𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘞𝘢𝘺: 𝘓𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘞𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘉𝘦𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘥 𝘊𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘢𝘭 𝘊𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘳,” we share real-life advice on navigating social anxiety and stigma, reconnecting with friends and family, and finding joy in everyday moments again.

Whether you're rebuilding your social life or discovering a new one, you’re not alone. Let’s break the silence and bring back the human side of healing.

📘 “The Last Thing I Expected at This Age” is our new book, launched last week at the DiCE 10th Masterclass in Barcelona 🇪🇸 .

It shares the personal stories of 15 young adults diagnosed with digestive cancer. Many of them faced delays and misdiagnoses simply because of their age.

These stories reflect the emotional and practical challenges of living with cancer during a time that should be full of opportunity, whether that’s starting a career, studying, or building a family. They are a powerful reminder that cancer can affect anyone, regardless of their age.

Some of the voices in this book are no longer with us. We honour them by continuing to raise awareness.

Thank you to everyone who shared their experience. Your words will help others be heard and hopefully diagnosed earlier.
