About Me

Angela Chan

Breathe is a blog about secondary cancer. I can’t even tell you what type yet because I just found out. I hope it will be a place to share and to empower and comfort others going through their own journey. Right now it’s a conversation with myself and anyone who cares to listen or respond. A place to think, to process what’s happening. A way to save me explaining myself to everyone I meet. It’s a lot.

I survived breast cancer six years ago. But this is a very different journey and it’s all new to me and I’d love some company as I figure out which way is up.

I’m an artist and academic living in West London. I was diagnosed recently with secondary cancer in my lungs, lymph nodes and bones. I’m a mother of three, a wife, a sister, a daughter, a lover of life and a fighter! I hope we can share some of the challenges and triumphs along the way.
