Our Story
Rooted in care, guided by stories
The Cancer Care Collective is a space to honor the deeply personal, often complex realities of everyone impacted by cancer — patients, survivors, caregivers, loved ones, and professionals alike.
In the rhythm of appointments, treatments, and everyday life, emotional and mental support often feels out of reach. Illness, caregiving, and grief can be isolating. But stories have the power to connect us — to remind us that we’re not alone in our love, our pain, or our strength.
Launched on World Cancer Day 2025, in collaboration with Unmasking Collective, this initiative was created to hold space for the stories behind the diagnosis — and to center the human experience in the cancer journey.
Here, your story matters. Your emotions are valid. Your presence is enough.
This collection is the beginning of something deeply personal — a shared space that honours the quiet strength it takes to show up, to support, and to simply keep going. Through these stories, we hope to build a collective heartbeat — one that offers comfort, reflection, and belonging. We’re just getting started. If you have a story to tell — big or small, loud or quiet — we’re listening.
Welcome to the Cancer Care Collective.
Share your story
Real experiences, honest refelctions
At the Cancer Care Collective, we believe stories hold power —
the power to raise awareness, build connection, and center the voices of those with lived experience.
We would be honoured to hear yours.
Whether you’re:
– a healthcare worker in oncology,
– a patient or survivor,
– or a caregiver or loved one to someone living with cancer
Your story matters.
We're here - and we're listening.
