Person with a lived experience of cancer

Anita, USA

Cancer turned my world upside when it took away my dad in 2022, and then a few months later, I was diagnosed with a rare stage IV cancer called neuroendocrine carcinoma at the age of 22.

All in one year, cancer managed to take away my dad, my health, my passions, my job, and my dreams.

I miss the person and the life I used to have, but I'm so proud of the person I have become.

Without cancer, I would have never found my courage - the courage to share my story, to start my own sticker business, to travel the world, and to live every day like it's my last.

Cancer can destroy everything I have and own, but it can never break my spirit.

I'm going to win this fight for you, dad.
