“I had a lot of pain from the
cancer in my bones, and I
was dealing with anxiety and
depression, and feeling broken…
Over time, I learned to talk to
my body in a different way,
and that helped with my pain.
Everything started to improve.”

and peer support, all of which provide emotional support and opportunities to
share and learn techniques for coping with prolonged treatment and making end
of life decisions.
