Other families talk about sports, we talk about cancer diagnoses. I hate that for them… but at the same time they are some of the most empathetic, understanding people at that age.

Anne
Stage2B Breast Cancer Survivor

I had immense support from my friends. I had lost both my parents so I didn’t have parents so it was really that core group of people that that all took the time to come and be with me.

Steve
Gastric Cancer Survivor

While in treatment, I used my time wisely daily. I would make goals for myself, like I would see how many nurses I could make smile in a day.

Marcel
Stage IV Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Survivor

I am not my disease… I do not have to lose myself in pain… I am a father, a husband, a dog-owner, a web-comic owner… I lost a decade of my life… I don’t want to lose anymore…

Lars
Living with Fibromyalgia

At the moment I walk quite a bit, most days I reach my 7,500 steps target, do some modest resistance training when I feel like it and when the weather is nice I go for a long ride on my e-bike.

Hans
Living with GOLD IV, Endstage COPD
