Experience Story
Lyra - 13 years old
Don't bottle up the wave of emotions. You'll regret it later. I promise you.

Sometimes, I wonder what life would be like if cancer never struck my family. If I did not hear my Mum's tears during the night. Would I be happier? Would I feel..normal?

It has become a part of me. A hardened part of my soul. I desperately wish to crack it, open it, let in light. But I cannot.

So my advice is..come to term with the cancer that plagues your family's life. And accept it. Don't bottle up the wave of emotions. You'll regret it later. I promise you.

So right now, think. And let yourself cry. Life is tough. But sometimes, cancer is tougher.
