Cancer is more than just a physical disease. It affects every aspect of your well-being: physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual.

There is no ‘right’ way to react to a cancer diagnosis. Some patients find it overwhelming, experiencing a lot of difficult feelings and emotions. Others respond by focusing on the practicalities ahead. Every journey is different.

Wherever you are on your journey, we are here for you. We encourage you to be informed. It is natural to want to know more about your disease and treatment and to connect with others. Below is a selection of resources and support groups available. Alternatively, you can always contact us directly. We’ll make sure to get you the support you need.
