Abstract

Finding your voice as a cancer patient can be hard, especially when you do not know what to say yourself. This article reveals a personal story of a diagnostic radiographer who thought she knew it all until she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Using humour and sadness as a scaffold for support, the voice of a young mother with cancer is heard within this paper.
