We are right here to support you whatever cancer throws your way
How we can help
recently diagnosed with cancer
You might have lots of questions, such as how to talk to your family about your diagnosis or where you can get care and support. We can help answer your questions to make the journey smoother.
caring for someone with cancer
Caring for a friend or family member with a terminal illness can be both rewarding and challenging. Our information can help you know what to expect – from day-to-day caring to looking after your own needs.
support group
Group support is available for people with any type of cancer and their friends and families: before, during or after treatment.
Every group provides an opportunity to talk to other people who are in a similar situation to you, and to share experiences. Groups offer a safe space to express emotions you might not want to share with your friends and family. You might learn from those a little way ahead of you in their journey and develop your own strategies for coping.

Cancer does not have to be a death sentence
with first lady margaret kenyatta | january 2020
WHAT CANCER CAN NOT DO
Cancer is so limited… It cannot cripple love. It cannot shatter hope.
It cannot corrode faith. It cannot eat away peace. It cannot destroy confidence.
It cannot kill friendship. It cannot shut out memories. It cannot silence courage.
It cannot reduce eternal life. It cannot quench the Spirit.
Orison Swett Marden
There is no medicine like hope, no incentive so great, and no tonic so powerful as expectation of something tomorrow.
