Help for People Living With Cancer

Help for
People Living with Cancer
in Powys

Have you been diagnosed with cancer?

Are you supporting someone who has been diagnosed with cancer?

A cancer diagnosis can impact your life in so many ways.

It can affect you practically, physically, emotionally, spiritually, & socially.

A 'cancer journey’ can have many twists and turns - what matters most to a person living with cancer can change over time.

We are here to help.

Free support is available to all residents of Powys who are aged over 18 and living with cancer.

We offer support to anyone who is:

newly diagnosed with cancer,
undergoing cancer treatment,
recovering from cancer treatment,
living with a treatable but not curable cancer,
coming to terms with life after cancer,
living with a palliative cancer diagnosis,
an unpaid carer, a close friend, or a family member who is supporting someone else who is living with cancer.
