Portrait of Amal

Amal

Completed breast cancer treatment in 2013

"I remember the day so clearly. Even though I was expecting the worst, it was quite different when I heard it. I suddenly found myself in a world I did not understand. The good thing is, the strength that you don’t think you have begins to surface — you are resilient, you can find the right words to say, and when and how to say them, and you are pragmatic."
