We know that serious illness has a huge impact on a person and those around them which goes much deeper than physical health. This impact can be experienced at different times, with some needing more support through the course of their treatment, others once treatment is finished.
The Trust can help improve health and wellbeing in areas such as managing stress & anxiety, staying active, relationships & family, healthy eating and symptom management. |
