While noting Steffi’s story, Ayrshire Cancer Support shared that she had a sentinel node biopsy and lumpectomy. She will start her ten radiotherapy sessions at the Beatson on the 18th of this month.
Steffi’s advice to people affected by Cancer would be: “Talk to friends and family, but don’t compare yourself to others who may have gone through similar. Everyone’s cancer journey is different.
It is true that it is okay not to be okay but equally embrace the good days. Someone told me to keep things as normal as possible when you are well enough,” she said while sharing her experience.
She also shared some thoughts on how Ayrshire Cancer Support has helped her:
“My breast care nurse encouraged me to request the patient transport service. What a fantastic thing to have available. Last week, I had an appointment at the Beatson in Glasgow, and there was no stress about getting there or parking.
I attended the Look Good, Feel Better session in September and met others who have been through similar. It was a lovely way to pass the morning, and the goody bag was unique. I have used some of the products since. I’m about to have a complementary therapy and look forward to it.”
