AT OUR “HOME FROM HOME” CENTRE, CANCER LIFELINE REACHES OUT TO YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES THROUGH A VARIED PROGRAMME OF SUPPORT AND INFORMATION.
A cancer diagnosis brings with it a whole array of emotions, some of which can be overwhelming. It is at these times that you may need to talk to others facing similar fears and anxieties. You or your loved one may need access to practical support services, somewhere you can feel comfortable, where your feelings and reactions will be understood and treated sensitively.
A caring welcome, in a comfortable nsetting, where people can relax and talk through what is happening to them. The organisation has been referred to as a “lifeline” by many of our members. The unique focus of Cancer Lifeline is that it is managed by local people, all of whom are living with cancer.
Hence, when people come for support they will have the opportunity to meet and talk to others who have been through the same experience.
