I've finally met a volunteer who didn't shuffle and look embarrassed when I announced that I am a cancer survivor! Cancer Research UK is doing door-to-door fundraising at present. Today, I was dragged from my marking heap to answer the door in the early evening. It was a young man in a Cancer Research UK jacket who'd called to ask if I'd like to donate. I was able to tell him that I already do and that I have survived cancer myself. It wasn't clear whether his response - "Congratulations" - was to the first or second piece of information, but he didn't get tongue-tied and worried as so many volunteers I've met in the past have done.
What a refreshing change!
