Patient X Patient

28/01/2026

For those who are newly diagnosed, the moment you hear the words “you have cancer” can bring a wave of thoughts and emotions.

Our Newly Diagnosed Patient Stories center the voices of individuals reflecting on that moment. This month’s prompt asks: "When you first learned about your diagnosis, what was going through your mind, and what supported you during that time?” In our most recent blog, Daniel shares his experience navigating uncertainty while remaining grounded in hope and community. Read about his experience here: https://www.cancersupportcommunity.org/blog/facing-stage-4-cancer

If you feel ready, we invite you to submit your story and help others feel seen and supported.

Sneak Peek!
What a wonderful experience it's been to be part of this. Living Beyond Breast Cancer is such an incredible resource for so many of us navigating life during and after a breast cancer diagnosis. I'm honored to share a glimpse of the work we’ve been doing together—and I truly hope that our small contributions will help others feel seen, supported, and empowered.

✨Exciting News!✨

I am beyond grateful to share that I’ve been chosen to work with my artist, Molly Stephansky, as part of Brushes with Cancer, a transformative program by Twist Out Cancer. From the moment we connected, Molly and I discovered so many unexpected similarities, and I feel so lucky to have not only collaborated with her but also gained a friend along the way.

Molly is a talented ceramic artist, and I cannot wait to see how our shared story takes shape through her art. The idea that my experience—my journey—can be reflected in something tangible, something beautiful, is both humbling and inspiring.

For those who don’t know, Brushes with Cancer pairs artists with those impacted by cancer—survivors, previvors, and caregivers—to create original pieces that capture personal cancer journeys. It’s a powerful way to turn something deeply personal into a shared experience of healing, connection, and creative expression.

Join us in celebrating this incredible program! 💖 If you’re in the area, I’d love for you to attend the Spring 2025 Exhibition and Celebration on March 15, 2025, where our collaborative piece (and many others) will be revealed.

In this powerful conversation, Caitlin Holc and I had the honor of interviewing Aelicia Watson — also known affectonately as Chocolate —opens up about her stage four cancer journey, the strength she’s found in faith, and the life lessons she’s embraced along the way. Joined by Julie Saqueton, they discuss the importance of early screenings, self-care, and the power of community in the face of life’s toughest challenges.

This is more than just a conversation — it’s a call to action. Your support helps us continue sharing these vital stories, raising awareness, and advocating for better healthcare access.
