Supporting women with cancer
“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us."
– Attributed to Ralph Waldo Emerson but research suggests earliest documented sentiment appeared in a 1940 book by Henry Stanley Haskins titled "Meditations in Wall Street" (published anonymously at the time).
Receiving a cancer diagnosis can feel like the ground has been pulled from beneath you. The wave of emotions—shock, fear, sadness, and even disbelief—can be overwhelming, leaving you wondering how to process the news while also making sense of what comes next. There may be a whirlwind of medical information, treatment plans, and decisions that feel impossible to absorb all at once. If you find yourself feeling lost or uncertain, please know that you are not alone. What you are feeling is completely valid, and it is okay to take things one step at a time.
