Transcript

00:00Hi, Adele Roberts here and I just wanted to say I am really thinking of you if you're

00:08dealing with cancer at the moment.

00:10At Macmillan we know that cancer can affect every aspect of someone's life and that's

00:14why we do whatever it takes to make sure you get the support you need.

00:18We're all in this together, you're not alone. Keep living life every single day, keep smiling

00:24and don't forget to enjoy the here and the now.

00:27I am sending so much love, strength and thoughts to those affected by cancer. I remember after

00:33I was diagnosed a nurse telling me to stop holding it all in if I needed to have a good

00:38cry to let it out.

00:40You do not need to go through it alone. Maggie's doors and centres are open for you.

00:46Be strong, be focused, keep your chin down, hands up, keep fighting.

00:52Be as positive as you can and take each day as it comes.

00:55Today on World Cancer Day I would just like to say a huge thank you to all the nurses,

01:00doctors, scientists and researchers that are continuously trying to find a cure for cancer.

01:05My dad passed away in 2011 but I want to say that whether you know someone or whether you've

01:10been recently diagnosed we are all in this together and whatever you can do to smile

01:15every day is important.

01:17There is hope. Research means that treatments are improving all the time.

01:23We're delivering real progress and thankfully beating cancer together.

01:29We are all with you. This is tough but you are not alone.

01:33At Maggie's we're friends with cancer. You can be your authentic self.

01:38This World Cancer Day I want to say a massive thank you to all of the brilliant doctors

01:44and nurses and charities that work tirelessly for the cause. Thank you.

01:50Without your love, care, support and dedication a lot of people out there would be going through

01:55an even more difficult time so thank you so much.

02:00Speak to your treatment teams, speak to Macmillan Cancer Support, get information because that

02:04information helps you feel empowered and optimistic for the future.

02:08Don't be afraid to ask for help and if you can do something every day that makes you

02:12truly happy.

02:14When I was diagnosed with bowel cancer it was overwhelming. I knew I couldn't control

02:18what it did to my body but I was determined not to let it affect my spirit.

02:23You've got this. Lots of love.
