FYSOT’08: The Way I see It

The inspirational and courageous Nicole Dryburgh shares her incredible story, starting when she was first diagnosed at age 11 with a peripheral nerve sheath tumour, a rare type of cancer. After a series of devastating relapses over the years, Nicole has been left deaf in one ear, profoundly deaf in the other and unable to see. However, this has not stopped her from achieving incredible things. Talking about the release of her book, “The Way I See It”, Nicole explains how she hopes it can help people going through a similar situation to see that there is light at the end of the tunnel, no matter what the circumstance.

  • This is the bravest women i have ever met in my life, and her story was absoluity life changing for me, i was at this conference, and she just blew me away. I am really looking forward to reading her book. I wish my best to her and her family, and the people around her that help from day to day xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  • Nicole, You are an amazing young lady. I was a Marie Curie nurse, but now work as a support worker for Young Heroes Charity. We offer teenagers and young adults a holiday, enabling them to re- energise and to return home strengthened to face whatever lies ahead of them. It is such a privilege to stand on the very edge of their lives and to hear their stories as I have heard yours today.
    I will buy your book/s!!! and I will donate to your challenge for TCT. I wish you all the best and your words will long remain with me. God Bless you,
    Bev Law
