As a cancer patient, hair loss was one of the things I dreaded most. Losing my hair meant that I looked “sick” and as a female, it impacted my identity and the way I perceived myself. I used my grant to purchase a wig. Having gone through chemotherapy last year, my hair thinned drastically however I was fortunate to have kept some of my hair and didn’t require any wigs or headwear to conceal this. However, after relapsing this year and being put on a stronger chemotherapy regimeand requiring a stem cell transplant, my hair started falling in chunks within days of my treatment….

I used my grant to pay for tickets to a clay workshop for my partner and myself. The wellness grant was something that I had not even imagined when I was diagnosed, but I’m so thankful I was able to access it. It was so wonderful to be able to treat myself and my partner after going through a traumatic time. I spent my grant on tickets to a hand building with clay workshop for my partner and myself. We unfortunately have been unable to complete our clay creations due to covid-19 restrictions, but we are both looking forward to doing so when restrictions are lifted. It was a really fun experience for both of us and I’d love to be able to work with clay more in the future.

I used the grant to contribute towards the purchase of a treadmill. I am so fortunate to be able to access this grant, I was at a loss with my fitness posttreatment and I was hesitant to get a gym membership as I wasn’t sure it would meet my needs. Being able to purchase a treadmill with the grant meant that I was able to get back into my fitness from the comfort of my own home, and when I needed to rest it was easy to do so. During the coronavirus the treadmill has been imperative for my wellbeing.

I used the grant to assist with Physiotherapy costs. I have been doing strength training with my physio now for about 2 months to help build up the lost strength and muscle from battling cancer. This grant has helped pay for the sessions with my physio so I can continue to gain strength and fitness and get my body back to the health level it was before.

I used my grant to attend Exercise Physiology sessions and have an Aquatic Centre Gym membership for 3 months. It was extremely beneficial to my recovery from chemotherapy treatment and enhanced the importance of wellbeing and fitness in my life. I noticed an improvement in my mental health and energy levels during the three months of my program. It was great to meet other people in a similar situation at the group exercise physiotherapy sessions, it made me feel supported and less alone in my journey. Don’t hesitate to apply for this grant. It is a very simple application process with a supportive team behind it. I highly recommend it at any stage of your treatment and/or recovery.
