Cambridge Cancer Help Centre | Cancer Support For You

Cancer Support for You

If you, or someone close to you, has recently been diagnosed with cancer you may be feeling isolated and unsure where to turn for more information and support. We believe that no-one should feel alone with a cancer diagnosis. At the Cambridge Cancer Help Centre you will be guaranteed a warm welcome and access to our range of holistic activities to enhance your mind, body and spirit during this challenging time for you.  We are here to help for as long as you need us.

Support for you | Cambridge Cancer Help Centre

Support for You

We host a range of support groups provide an opportunity to meet with others going through a similar experience and to hear, from a specialist facilitator, about treatments, nutrition and self-help techniques. Many people find this makes them feel more in control of their situation and many long-term friendships have been forged through these groups. We also offer short courses including HOPE (Helping Overcome Problems Effectively) and the opportunity to meet with a MacMillan Benefits Advisor.

Therapies | Cambridge Cancer Help Centre

1:1 Therapies

Our team of professional therapists offer a wide range of therapies to support and enhance during (and following) your clinical treatment programme. Medical consent from your hospital consultant or GP is required to access these 1:1 therapies which offer relaxation and support for the body, mind and spirit.
