Penny Brohn UK - Cancer Charity

A valuable resource for anyone with cancer or supporting somebody with cancer.

Penny Brohn UK – Cancer wellbeing for everyone

I was speaking to a McMillan nurse just after Christmas, and she mentioned this charity to me since I wasn't finding what I was looking for in the NHS.

I have signed up with them online and will be attending a Welcome Session on the 7th.

From what I have found looking around the site, they have a lot of valuable resources available. Every service and event I've looked at so far is listed as PC, which I believe means Price Concession - AKA - free.

Here are a list of the free services they offer:

This will be a valuable resource for many of you who are not getting the support you need from your health provider and maybe need a little extra reassurance or advice in your cancer care.

While they do not provide second opinions or prescribe medication, their volunteers and staff are trained professionals in the oncological arena and will, I'm certain, be able to offer a lot of valuable assistance.

I'll keep you updated as I learn more.
