Below you will find links to help you with your mental and physical health, resources to help you cope with your diagnosis and how to live with and after cancer.
We have been successfully helping people with cancer for over 35 years, with our pioneering Bristol Whole Life Approach. We can show you how to live well with cancer and take back control of your health and wellbeing – before, during and after treatment.
Our range of services are free of charge to adults with a cancer diagnosis and their supporters. However, as a charity we rely on donations to fund our work, both at our National Centre and across the UK.
Candy say's, "Beyond Bowel Cancer Living Well".
"This booklet contains excellent advice patients need to become an expert in their own recovery pathway, including worries about the cancer coming back, follow-up care, emotions after treatment ends, disturbed sleep and fatigue, lifestyle choices, body image, changes in bowel habit, intimate relations and patient stories."
This booklet is available from:
Nutritionist Resource Site - Here you will find a lot of great information and guidance to Nutrition. Always remember to seek the advice of your GP and/or Consultant before acting on any of the advice.
Cancer Lifeline South West -
A cancer diagnosis can have a far-reaching effect on people and their families. Post treatment is a time when people are expected to ‘get back to normal’ but for many ‘normal’ has changed.
The shock of the diagnosis and treatment wears off and the reality sets in. It can be a time when people feel isolated and alone.
We offer 3 day residential breaks for cancer patients – on their own or with a relative or friend. The group is limited to 10 participants and is facilitated by 3 appropriately trained counsellors who will lead relaxation and meditation groups and help with ‘coping’ strategies.
