Scanxiety - Coping in between scans
Scanxiety is a common experience that may emerge several weeks before a scan and continue while you are waiting for results.
Join us for an information session to discuss the experience of scanxiety and strategies for coping. We will also tell you about what resources are available to give you support.
Spaces are extremely limited, so BOOKINGS ARE ESSENTIAL.
For more information see the event flyer.
Body Image and Cancer
Join us for a free online webinar for those affected by cancer, your family and friends.
Cancer and its treatment can impact physical appearance as well as how the body works, sometimes permanently.
These changes can cause distress and lead to a loss in confidence. You may find yourself being more aware of how your body looks.
Join us and Dr Charlotte Tottman, Clinical Psychologist, as we talk about managing your body image and learning strategies to cope with changes happening to your body.
Introduction to Mindfulness
Coping with cancer can be demanding, both for your body and mind.
Join us for this session introducing you to mindfulness to help you to manage the demands of cancer.
This session is open to anyone affected by cancer, you, your family and friends.
