However having been through cancer makes me more determined to
live life positively and never hold back. I reached a major
milestone just before my 21st birthday when I was
finally discharged as an outpatient. I am now 24 years old
and have recently graduated university with an architecture
degree.
It is awesome participating in the peer support at CanTeen where
everyone has a similar reason to be there. We all share similar
experiences even though everyone is at different stages of the
cancer journey. One of the values that CanTeen has and is really
evident is to 'Live Life' by having a positive attitude, living for
the moment and being fun-loving. It encourages me to live life to
its full potential. The opportunities through CanTeen
are awesome and I appreciate the support I received and friendships
I have made.
