Someone’s Survival Guide is a collective work of stories, poems, reflections, guidance and lived experience from people who have been through breast cancer. It brings together voices from every corner of the community—survivors, thrivers, caregivers and advocates—each offering something honest, human, and deeply relatable.
Inside you’ll find emotional storytelling, practical advice, music suggestions that helped survivors cope, and social media accounts to follow for support and connection. This guide exists for one purpose: to help someone else feel less alone.
Someone’s Survival Guide brings together a community of voices — survivors, thrivers,
caregivers, poets and advocates — each offering something different:
heartfelt stories, raw honesty, humour, hope, coping strategies, and
the things that helped them through their hardest days.
It’s not a medical guide. It’s not written from one perspective.
It’s a companion — a collection of lived experience. Inside you will find:
- ✨ Personal stories from survivors — including two rare male perspectives
- 📝 Poems and creative writing exploring fear, love, loss and hope
- 💡 Practical guidance for moments when life feels overwhelming
- 🎧 Music suggestions that empowered or comforted survivors
- 📱 Social media handles of real survivors to follow for daily strength
- ❤️ Reflections on friendships, relationships, anxiety, body image and life beyond treatment
Every piece in this guide exists for one purpose:
to help someone else feel less alone.
£5 from every sale is donated to Future Dreams to support people affected by breast cancer.
Whether you’re newly diagnosed, recovering, or supporting a loved one,
