Critics Review
…bravely explores this life changing journey, with both pathos, grit and humor * Sonja O’Hara, Emmy-nominated filmmaker and actress *This is truly brilliant. It will help so many people * Dr Anisha Patel, GP, author and cancer survivor *A refreshing take on the cancer pathway from someone who truly knows. Will help those affected and those not to understand * Dr Philippa Kaye *Absolutely fabulous and should be prescribed for every woman starting their treatment * Greg Wise *A poignant, funny, heart wrenching, beautifully artistic look at the rollercoaster of cancer and the aftermath of recovery. It is a story for the cancer patient and their community; a piece of a map for when the world feels like it is falling apart * Gaia Wise *One of the most truthful and unflinching accounts of a diagnosis and navigating the cancer system. It is heartwarming, and soft, but also is unflinching in the anger and despair I know so many of us feel. * Rosa Hesmondhalgh, actress and cancer survivor *
