- They danced for four hours after overcoming treatment and illness.
- They call for cancer patients to have personal plans with medical teams.

## Summary

The writer, who has incurable bowel cancer, made it to a Charlotte de Witte DJ set in east London despite chemotherapy side effects, nausea, diarrhoea and a cold. Dancing for four hours was a rare chance to enjoy an event they feared illness might prevent, and a way to reclaim a night from the demands of cancer.

The writer describes how treatment and the disease shape everyday choices and have kept them from many experiences. They hope to see de Witte perform again and say cancer patients should have personal cancer plans discussed with their medical teams; the article ends before explaining further what those plans should include.
