My husband Colin, our two children and I were a typical young family. That was, until Colin found a lump and was diagnosed with an aggressive form of testicular cancer.

I could never have anticipated what would follow and I will never forget how Cancer Council supported us through it all. They held my hand when I had nothing to hold on to.

This is my story …

Every day, families just like mine call Cancer Council 13 11 20 to support them through their darkest days. I can’t imagine how I would have coped without it. 

If you or a loved one have been affected by cancer, you need to know you’re not alone.

You can speak a Cancer Council nurse for information and support — just call 13 11 20 or chat with them online. 

Best wishes,
