Cancer can turn your world upside down. But you are still you: mums, dads, friends, lovers, work mates and more.
Juan found treatment exhausting, but with the support of Macmillan's Online Community he still found time to spend with his daughter.
Bei worried about maintaining her fitness through chemo. She took part in a Macmillan strength and conditioning class and managed to keep up yoga, aerobics, and weightlifting as well.
Five weeks after surgery, with information and support from Macmillan, Peter was back dancing. The music and thinking about his steps and posture helped keep his mind off cancer.
The mental battle, for Andy, was so much harder, post cancer. His call to the Macmillan's Support Line gave him the support he needed. Getting back on his bike gave him some achievable goals and helped him to get fitter.
For Ellis, #LifeWithCancer is playing basketball and spending time with friends. Ellis found the support Macmillan gave his family was crucial when coping with the emotional side of cancer.
It will be James’s second Christmas without treatment this year. The support of his Macmillan Nurse, Kate, made a big difference to James and his parents, Ruth and Chris.
Financial information, counselling, meeting a cancer specialist dietitian, cancer rehabilitation and relaxation therapy sessions - these are some of the ways that Macmillan supported Lea to live her life with cancer.
For Ruth, #LifeWithCancer is finding the balance so she can go to work, swim, meet friends, and deal with all the side effects from treatment. Ruth found the information and support from Macmillan vital when returning to work.
