Julie McCrossin, Journalist, Broadcaster and Podcaster, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“It is important to be confident in the value of your lived experience”, Karen says in this video interview for World Cancer Day.

“You can’t do this alone. You need to find your team,” says Shona Edwards who was treated with proton therapy in Prague for a tumour on the base of her spine.

They are both members of Cancer Voices South Australia, an independent, volunteer advocacy group in my new home time: Adelaide!

They work to improve cancer treatment & recovery.
