Some thoughts from a teenager about the TCT units

A Teenage Cancer Trust Ward“When I was first diagnosed with leukaemia I was lucky enough to experience one of the Teenage Cancer Trust units. I remember first walking onto the ward and seeing people my own age, all with smiles on their faces, with music playing and fights over what telly channel to watch. I thought I must have the wrong place. I was looking for a cancer unit full of sick people moping around this was more like a youth club. For me, apart from the odd drip stand, the occasional moan of not another injection!! this is how I experienced the TCT unit. I first thought I was going to a place where every one was sick, but because of the lively atmosphere, we didn’t have time to feel sick, we were too busy enjoying ourselves and rather than a place where everyone was sick, it felt like a place to get better”.
