How will coming to the group help me?

Coming to the group will give you the opportunity of meeting other people who also have cancer.

You will be able to talk about your anxieties, fears and difficulties with people who understand.

You will be able to have healing which will help you to relax and give you a greater sense of well being.

You will find a library of books and tapes on health, healing and all aspects of cancer.

What can I do to help myself?

You can share your fears and anxieties with others enabling you to develop positive attitudes.

You can learn to relax and learn positive self-healing images to strengthen your body’s ability to fight disease.

You can eat foods that will promote good general health and well-being.

What about my family

Family members are welcome to come to the group meetings where they will meet other people who are experiencing the same kind of problems.

Coming to the group often helps families to be more open with each other about what they are facing.
