Organisations team up to help sufferers

 

 

A BRISTOL cancer charity has teamed up with a national partner to provide a service for women with ovarian cancer.

 

Penny Brohn Cancer Care in Pill is working with Target Ovarian Cancer to provide a unique residential course for women living with a recurrence of ovarian cancer.

 

Penny Brohn’s is running the free-of-charge Living Well with the Impact of Recurrent Cancer course from April 8 April 10 at the charity in Pill.

 

The course will help women to:

● Manage stress through relaxation and simple breathing exercises.

● Cope with the emotional and psychological impact of cancer and its treatment.

● Find out about how to prepare and enjoy healthy food.

● Find a way to bring manageable exercise into your life.

● Discuss the impact of a cancer diagnosis on relationships.

● Consider how living with cancer affects our deepest values and beliefs.

● Receive basic information on financial welfare.

 

The course also provides women with an opportunity to meet others in a similar situation to themselves, to compare experiences and share advice.
