Anita acts on good advice
Watch Anita share her experiences.
From Anita’s story we can see how a conversation can have a significant impact. By using appropriate questions, Anita’s sister encouraged her to recognise that her symptoms were not normal for her, and to seek advice from a doctor.
Her sister’s support and encouragement led to Anita’s cancer being diagnosed at an early stage, and as a result her treatment was successful.
