"My most meaningful CAPO experience was the first time I attended, in 1998, in Thunder Bay. I immediately felt part of a supportive community of likeminded people in a casual, fun environment. It kept me coming back year after year!"
"I was diagnosed with a variant of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma in the fall of 2015. After six months of chemotherapy at the QEH Cancer Clinic in PEI I was told that I was now “free of any clinical signs” of cancer. Nevertheless, I would be followed up by my oncologist every few months to check to see whether the cancer had returned. The entire time I was undergoing treatment, I imagined what it would be like when my treatment was over and I was “cured.” I didn’t imagine that the psychological effects of having had cancer and worrying that it might come back would come to dominate my life. This is why attending the CAPO annual conference in 2019 was so helpful. There I learned that most if not all cancer patients experience the same issues. Knowing that I was not alone with this fear and that there were people who could help came as an immense relief. This was my most meaningful CAPO experience." |
