RESOURCES FROM WHEELCHAIR USERS WHO ARE CURRENTLY BATTLING OR HAVE BEATEN CANCER
Roy’s activism and open sharing about her cancer journey are her coping devices.
She suggests joining SCI/D groups on Facebook
and other social media platforms and connecting with survivors and people
fighting your specific cancer.
“Staying focused on the gratitude for all the beautiful people in my life, work
I am passionate about, and the ability to advocate for improved safety of
catheters [is also important].
If I can help someone else prevent bladder cancer, this journey has meaning,” she says.
“Take friends and family with you to treatment when possible.
Reconnecting with the people I love has been the silver lining of my bladder cancer diagnosis.
Work on keeping a positive attitude. Take care of your mental health as well as your physical health.”
