What cancer were you diagnosed with?

Secondary Liver Cancer

What age were you diagnosed?

What has helped you to thrive?

My wonderful (new) husband, friends, work colleagues and the school community I work in. Having a positive attitude helps massively. I can’t change the diagnosis but I can change the approach to how I manage it.

Nicki's Story

As a primary school teacher, I found support for my class was non-existent in my area so I have had to do a lot to support them myself. I have written a book to help other children in this situation and am working with other professionals to improve support in my area.
