FYSOT’08: Rare and isolated (2)
Next to take to the stage is Rachel Gilbert, who was diagnosed with a rare form of stomach cancer when she was 15. Now 22, Rachel is about to celebrate, as she calls it, her “cancerversary”! Like Hannah, Rachel was a keen gymnast before her diagnosis, and explains how difficult it was to adapt to life with cancer, especially with the absence of friends, after many of them did not stay in contact during her treatment.
