Sandra Bollen-Hughes elaborates on how a positive quote or song can be used to fill your mind with strength and positivity while treatment is ongoing.

Sandra Bollen-Hughes is a counselling psychologist. In 2015 she was diagnosed with breast cancer and realised the great burden of stress that cancer places on patients, and so she developed an interest in cancer counselling. She went on to study cancer counselling to gather insight into the field of psycho-oncology. She runs a practice both for general and cancer counselling.
