A Need to Relax

Sometimes Dreams our just something we need in the moment. Joanne needed to relax after months of treatment and worry.

Please read her story in her own words:

“My name is Joanne. My journey started when I was diagnosed with bowel cancer I September 2023, after having a colonoscopy. In November I had surgery to remove part of my bowel, which ended in a 5 day hospital stay,. Then in February I started a course of 4 rounds of chemotherapy. Unfortunately, this took it out of me, causing extreme tiredness, diarrhoea, stomach ache and sharp tingling in my fingers and toes, but I still managed to keep working full time.

I have now recently completed the course and have spoken with my oncologist. I’m just waiting for a letter from christies to see if I need further treatment.

I heard about eves trust from a lovely nurse at the hospital who put me up for a nomination. The charity responded to me quickly and my designated Dreams Coordinator, Baileigh, made contact with me. I quickly found that dealing with the charity was easy and stress free, just what I needed. They asked me what I wanted or needed, right then I just needed a little break away, somewhere I could relax and try to put my mind elsewhere.

The break was lovely and relaxing, perfect for taking my mind of things, just what I needed. I cannot Thank you everyone at the charity enough xx”
