Hannah’s life is about to turn upside down. She finds a lump in her breast during her morning shower. She brushes it off as probably nothing but decides to get a check up anyway. The news she has cancer sends her and her lovely family into a spin.
What follows is not just a medical journey, it is a journey that changes her life and the way that she thinks about it. Hannah has always been a very capable, independent autistic woman. But coping with life and coping with cancer turn out to be two very different challenges.
The story shows a personal account of the struggles, humour and strategies used to navigate the variety of procedures, hospital appointments and the endless interactions with medical staff that all play their part in the treatment.
Hannah’s husband, Paul, is by her side through the whole process. Paul tries to hold things together and keep Hannah steady, even when he is struggling to understand himself.
More Than Cancer is a deeply moving, funny, chaotic story based on real life events. It reveals the invisible battles that many going through cancer quietly endure. It is full of quirky stories of resilience, endurance and making the most of family life, despite the challenges.
This story is not only about how cancer changes life, but also about how putting life first can change everything for the better.
