Cancer diagnosis is one the most stressful experience in cancer patient’s life. Being in a support group helps survivours, patients cope with emotional trauma caused by the disease. While some people experience shock, anger, and disbelief, others may feel intense sadness, fear, and a sense of loss. Even the most supportive family members and friends cannot understand exactly how it feels to have cancer, this can sometimes lead to feelings of loneliness and isolation…
In the courageous journey of triumph over cancer, Adebayo (Bayo) Oladele shares his poignant story of battling the disease and emerging victorious. Co-authoring the book “Second Chance: Surviving the Battles of Cancer” with his wife, Yinka Oladele, Bayo delves into the challenges faced during the relentless fight against cancer, dismantling myths and showcasing the profound impact of caregiving.
“Only the affected knows the impact,” Bayo emphasizes, recognizing the unique perspective that patients and caregivers share. The Oladeles open a window into the emotional depths of a cancer patient’s experience, transcending barriers of sex, faith, color, and culture.
We’re here to help survivors, patients, and caregivers during their battles with cancer. Share your stories, symptoms, and ways to cope with us as we join forces for support, awareness, teamwork, learning, and raising funds.
