In honour of International Cancer Survivors Day, Olivia Curlewis shares her deeply personal journey of surviving Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma, a rare cancer of the sinus cavity. After extensive facial surgery and the emotional, physical, and mental challenges that followed, Olivia brings a powerful perspective on courage, identity, healing, and life beyond diagnosis. As a registered nurse and someone celebrating 30 years with CANSA, Olivia will also share what her journey has taught her about hope, support, education, and walking alongside others affected by cancer.
