Pamela Deasy, Patient Advisory Committee, Digestive Cancers Europe, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“While going through chemotherapy and radiotherapy, a daily negotiation between hope and fear, a surreal experience! It is where your body becomes both battleground and survivor, reacting in ways you can’t always predict. One day, you might feel almost normal, the next, every ounce of strength is gone.
Food tasted metallic, fatigue seeped into your bones, your skin changed, and the simplest tasks felt monumental, where the physical toll and mental weight of not knowing whether the treatments are working became a part of your daily life.
You’re not sure if the pain is temporary or permanent, or what version of yourself will emerge at the end. Yet, within that uncertainty, moments of clarity and gratitude appear. While I was in this liminal space, I bought this block for my son at Anfield.
On Saturday, I walked over 8k to that stadium, what a privilege for me to get to see it, when so many are not offered this chance, realizing that just being there, still standing, is its own quiet victory.”
