Quand j’ai lu Libérez les émotions* dans la liste des activités de la Fondation, je me suis dit : « Ça, ça ne sera pas pour moi! ». Et pourtant, Dieu sait si j’en vivais des émotions!

We met in December – December 2nd at 4:33 pm to be exact.

You weren’t on my agenda that day. We didn’t have an appointment. We didn’t even know each other; we weren’t Facebook friends or anything.

It was so reassuring to have the chance to discuss my experience freely with someone who had been there. She gave me advice on many things and helped me prepare for the next stages.

At the hospital, I was given documentation on cancer and the resources available. The wig loan service offered by the Quebec Cancer Foundation caught my attention.

When I started volunteering at the Quebec Cancer Foundation in Estrie, it was a bit by chance. Just over 10 years ago, an ad in the local newspaper caught my attention.

When my wife was being treated for breast cancer at the hospital, she made a new friend, whose husband was an insurance broker.

Even as a busy mom of five and owner of a road sign company, I find it very important to give back to my community.

Learning, at the age of 35, that you have diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the colon, just a few months after celebrating your child’s second birthday, well that just doesn’t seem right!

Since 2011, I have been hosting monthly breakfasts for groups of 12 to 25 people. I really enjoy spending hours carefully preparing the dishes that will be served.

I needed 38 radiation therapy sessions over eight weeks, so I decided to stay at the Sherbrooke Regional Centre and Lodge of the Quebec Cancer Foundation. That way, I didn’t have to make the long trip from my home to the hospital every day.
