Peer support
Community
The value of peer support is discovering your reactions are ordinary. Every space here is anonymous by default and read by a moderator before anything appears.
Before you post
Posts are visible to other people using Afya Companion. Do not include full names, hospital numbers or anything that identifies your care team. If you are in crisis, this is not the fastest route to help — use the crisis page.
For people living with a diagnosis. Shared experience, practical tips, no advice-giving.

Third cycle done. Nobody warned me that finishing treatment would be the frightening part — everyone else thinks it's over and I'm the most scared I've been.

Practical thing that helped: I take a written list of three questions to every appointment. I forget everything the moment they start talking otherwise.
