Anni's Cancer Companion

Anni Matthews was a city executive in charge of running a busy property development company in London. Following her diagnosis and research, she became a dedicated spokesperson for cancer sufferers, lecturing to Glaxo Smith Kline staff and Women's Institutes, as well as being an active trustee of Penny Brohn Cancer Care (formerly Bristol Cancer Help Centre). She fielded countless phone calls from anxious cancer patients and friends, providing answers to a spectrum of questions and worries, her philosophy always being 'think positive challenge, not negative acceptance'.
