“Rather than try to discover the meaning of life, you simply need to live it.”
On 24 January 2020, Colin’s partner, Deidre, receives an unanticipated diagnosis of Stage 4 breast cancer which had spread to her lungs and liver. They are devastated by the news, and their life plans appear shattered.
When Deidre’s treatments begin and they come to accept their situation, they are thrust into the world of Covid 19, and fear that the consequences of the pandemic will have a disastrous effect on her care plan and their hopes of normality.
As lockdown grips the planet, they are forced into isolation and must plan for even the most basic of activities. They are filled, however, with gratitude by the kindness of others and rather than surrender to fear and helplessness, they decide to meet each challenge positively.
There is Always Hope is an authentic and poignant memoir written to encourage and uplift the partners of those living with cancer. It reflects the challenges faced by those surrounding the patient as they confront their inevitable feelings of inadequacy and powerlessness and adapt to their new circumstances while trying to maintain a normal life.
