Cancer support in your community

Ravinder's story


"I found I couldn’t talk openly to the Asian community about my diagnosis. But I felt I needed to talk about it, to raise awareness for other ladies out there. There’s nothing to be ashamed of.

I try to go to our temples and raise awareness in small groups. I try to have one-to-ones with these women, so they are aware of changes in their bodies. By communicating with them, my confidence has grown too. I get huge satisfaction from it. 

Cancer has definitely changed me. I am stronger and more confident in myself. I'm passionate about people in the community feeling safe to talk about cancer and understand it."
