Throughout the Living with Cancer course participants are able to identify ways of managing symptoms and side effects of treatment, including relaxation techniques and visualisation exercises. The course can really help people with cancer to regain their confidence and enjoy a better quality of life.
If there are no Living with Cancer courses in your area, but you can get together a group of 10-16 people who are living with cancer we may be able to put on a course for you so please get in touch. Telephone: 020 7091 2010 or email lwc@macmillan.org.uk
