“I had breast cancer in 2018. I would like to start by thanking Ipatimup for these sessions that I have been following for years. Talking about cancer in a personal way is truly important. I remember when I received my diagnosis, one of the hardest phases was telling my children that I had cancer. Five years later, I look back and realize that I have managed to help my children approach cancer by its first name.”
