Couldn’t have put these words better myself! This is exactly the reason we have started this group! A chance to get together with others who understand exactly this through personal experience! Our group doesn’t have a set agenda, it’s to offer support and understanding of your situation. Just being together having a coffee and sharing anything you may want or just be with us and have a coffee! There’s no pressure to talk, we understand if you don’t want to, but please still come!

"The hardest part comes after."
— Princess Kate of Wales

In her quiet yet powerful words, Princess Kate once opened up about something many don't talk about:
"You put on a brave face during treatment, but the real struggle begins after."
She was speaking about her experience with chemotherapy-a journey that doesn't end when the last session does.
Because once the treatments stop...
The world expects you to bounce back.
To smile.
To "go back to normal."
But the truth is, that "normal" no longer exists.
What follows is a deep emotional rollercoaster:
The medical team is no longer by your side every day.
The adrenaline of survival fades.
The exhaustion lingers.
And you're left navigating a new version of yourself— physically, emotionally, mentally.
"It's a much harder process than I ever imagined," she said.
This isn't just a story of resilience.
It's a reminder: healing takes time.
Not just the body—but the soul.
So if you-or someone you love-is in that space after the storm, don't rush the calm.
Let it come, slowly. Gently. With grace.
And above all, don't expect to be who you were before.
You're becoming someone even stronger.
