Stories are a powerful way to deliver a message and move others to action. Cancer patient-survivors have first-hand experience to talk about the impact of diagnosis, treatment, and aftercare in a way that clinical staff and others cannot. These lived experiences and perspectives play a crucial role in the health and political system, putting patients at the forefront of care where they belong.
