Do you want to know one of the biggest secrets that cancer survivors have? It’s that life after cancer treatment ends can sometimes be even more tough than the disease itself. No one understands that like another cancer survivor. Gabby has been there – when the Get Well cards come down and you are alone with your fears, it can be scary, overwhelming– and lonely. Gabby knew she had to change her life and develop healthy habits to go from cancer survivor to Thriver. But working out what to do was confusing and exhausting.
Gabby Mottershead, is now a 16 year Inflammatory Breast Cancer survivor-turned-confidence coach and my passion is helping people to rebuild their lives.
Gabby says:
I want to share everything that I have learned about survival, and how to rebuild your life once treatment ends. I expected to feel invincible once my cancer was gone, but it didn't. I felt depressed, anxious, and exhausted.
'Confidence After Cancer' is for anyone who has finished cancer treatment and maybe feels alone, confused, and not sure how to move forward when all the joy has gone from their life.
Life after cancer treatment ends can be another stage to navigate when you are already exhausted. I'm here to help you make the rest of your life the best of your life.
When the Get Well cards came down, chemotherapy, surgeries, mastectomy, radiotherapy were all finished. What next? How do you move forward when you are thrown off that roller coaster of treatment?
Do you feel alone now that treatment has ended and that no one understands how you feel?
Are you sick and tired of feeling sick and tired?
Are you ready to move forward with your life, but it all feels too overwhelming?
