## Resource

In part two, Shell Rowe explains why humour was so important during her cancer treatment and why it’s so important not to define people as ‘cancer patients’. Shell and Alex discuss the loss of dignity during treatment and why being open about it helped her get through it, the videos that she never posted and why she dabbled with religion during the darker times.  Follow @shellrowex and pre order her book Dying to Live: How to Thrive, Not Just Survive (By using our affiliate bookshop you’ll help fund Stompcast by earning a small commission for every sale.
