Not because we studied it — because we’ve lived it.
Anxiety after diagnosis, fear of recurrence, the weight of treatment. We are here for people with cancer, rare illness or chronic conditions.
Waves of emotion, tears that will not stop, or feeling nothing at all. You do not need the right words.
Not wanting to worry anyone, holding back your true feelings, distance within the family. Whether you are the one supporting or being supported, you are welcome.
How you see yourself after illness, a shaken sense of identity, changes in appearance. Let us look for what feels like you, together.
Returning to work, taking time off study, worry about the future. We can talk about your path after illness or life abroad.
Life abroad, the strain of another culture, the loneliness of being a minority. For anyone who feels they belong nowhere.
It is okay if you do not know where to begin.
Just start talking with our chat, whenever you like.
