The diagnosis of cancer is a shocking event in anyone's life, and this when combined with invasive, intensive and challenging treatments, places a huge burden on patients and their families. It can leave you feeling helpless, confused and isolated, and sometimes unable to talk about these feelings with those you love.

Few people realise that there are many ways to support yourself or your loved one through this most difficult time, from psychological and emotional support and help with stress reduction, to proven nutritional and lifestyle strategies that, when combined with modern treatments, can improve outcomes and help alleviate side effects of treatment.

Wallace Cancer Care’s drop-in centres are peaceful, calm places where you can explore a varied programme based around self-help, empowerment and mutual support, or where you can simply relax over a cup of tea in a safe, comfortable environment. Our aim is to help you maintain the best possible mental and physical state during treatment, and to live positively afterwards. Services are free.
