Rose's story

Cancer's reach extends far beyond its physical toll, weaving its way into the fabric of countless lives worldwide. From the moments shared in hospital waiting rooms to the silent struggles endured behind closed doors, its impact is undeniable.

Families grapple with the profound loss of loved ones, navigating a landscape forever altered by grief. Survivors bear the scars of battles won, their resilience a testament to the human spirit's indomitable strength.

Rose is one of those survivors, and it has been a privilege to work alongside Wessex Cancer Support to tell her story.

Rose was 41 when she was diagnosed with bowel cancer. As a single Mum, all she could think about was what it would mean for her and her two children, and she feared for their futures. She shares how Wessex Cancer Support helped the family get their lives back on track.
