1) A friend showed me a magazine article on Jane Barrett, a C.U.P. Patient who had the same diagnosis, operation and treatment 12 months prior to my journey commencing and I cannot thank her enough for developing her website to help C.U.P. patients. Jane was diagnosed in February 2009 and sadly passed away in July 2012. Her website and research has really encouraged me to continue her work in raising C.U.P. awareness. I learnt so much from the information on her website and I encourage you to read her story at:
