Hi Zoe, you may not remember me m, but I saw you at a distance at the hospital yesterday, and I randomly heard about your cancer diagnosis today. I was there for the same reason, my partner is also in the thick of it. We’ve been really fortunate with how things have unfolded so far 🤞, I just wanted to reach out and support you and your whānau. It’s a massive effort, time-wise and emotionally, and honestly feels like a part-time job for both of us. Wishing you all the strength and support in the world. Maybe see you around what’s starting to feel like our second home. xo
