Hi my name is Kairen and I have made a short film about my journey of breast cancer and beyond . I made this film in collaborative with the Primrose breast care unit in Plymouth. It’s about giving yourself permission and taking back the power after treatment. I will put the link on this forum if anybody would like to watch, it’s only 4 minutes so watch it while you are having a cuppa. Thank you.

Jumping in on this older post because I’d love to hear how others felt after watching the film. It really struck me how much creative projects can help people make sense of things after treatment. Has anyone here tried something similar, like journaling or making a short video of their own?

Thank you Kairen for such a beautiful film. I too am with the Primrose team in Plymouth for invasive lobular cancer, diagnosed on 30/12/25. All the best, Joanne xx
The film has such a gentle way of giving a bit of breathing space after everything, and I love how you kept it short enough to sit with over a cuppa. If you ever feel like playing with storytelling more, places like www.praguefilminstitute.cz show how film can be a really grounding outlet. Either way, your piece already carries so much heart and honesty.
