Joyce is a Massage Therapist in Toronto who is the “breadwinner” for her family of four. She says her family has broken the mold of what people view as a traditional family structure. At the end of 2019, Joyce and her family had their world shaken up when Joyce made a discovery that led to a diagnosis she never would have imagined she would hear. Joyce feels like often people don’t speak about what happens behind closed doors when something like this happens to your own family and there can be an elephant in the room when speaking to people on the outside. Joyce feels that telling her story and being open may encourage others to not go through this alone and understand that it can happen to anyone. She also feels it can help others know how to best support someone who is dealing with illness.
