“I remember being in hospital having my chemo and there was a lady sitting opposite me and she was at the end of her chemotherapy. She said to me, ‘I just want you to know there is light at the end of the tunnel’, and at the time I thought I can’t really see that at the moment, but there is, and I’m proof there is. It’s fantastic.”

Sister Linda, 61, said she was also feeling optimistic. After finishing treatment in September, she shared that she is now waiting upon some important results.

She also noted that as her cancer is secondary, and is in her liver, there is no cure. But it is treatable.

“I’m doing well. Anne got her results, I’m waiting for scan results this week coming and hopefully they’ll be good and they will tell me want the next step is because my cancer is treatable.

Before adding: “It’s not curable, so I will be on medication possibly for the rest of my life, but as long as it works that’s fine. It’s hard not to be positive with this lot around because they’re all full of it, so it’s great, we’ve had such a great time spending time together.”
