Breast cancer charity Breast Cancer Care has set up a new partnership with the Mount Vernon Cancer Centre in Northwood to offer free information and support courses for women at the end of their breast cancer treatment.
The first course, Moving Forward: Living with and beyond breast cancer, at Mount Vernon Cancer Centre will take place on March 8 2017 and will run for four mornings, from 10am - 1pm in the Lynda Jackson Macmillan Centre.
The course will include talks from psychologists, therapists, nurses and dieticians, providing expert guidance.
Mags Holloway, Services Development Manager at Breast Cancer Care said: “There are an estimated 691,000 people alive after a diagnosis of breast cancer today in the UK.
“The need for support doesn’t end when treatment finishes — in fact, it is often the time people need us the most.
“From managing menopausal symptoms and relationships, this course will cover a range of topics.
“It will be invaluable in helping people affected by cancer approach life after treatment with more confidence.”
There will also be discussions around adjusting and adapting after a breast cancer diagnosis, managing the on-going side effects of treatment and breast awareness after surgery.
This course is free of charge, but participants must register in advance by calling Breast Cancer Care on 0345 0771893 or email movingforward@breastcancercare.org.uk
