You do not have to face cancer alone

 

We know that having cancer, or having a loved one who has cancer, is scary. It can also feel lonely. But you are not alone. There is lots of help out there – online, in person, over the phone – and this information toolkit is to help signpost you to the information, help and support that you need at every step of the cancer journey. In this toolkit you will be able to find the information that you need when you need it.

Each of the following “Useful links” will take you to the different sections of the tool kit.

 

We would love to hear from you too. What ideas do you have? Is there other support that you have found useful? Are there other groups in Norfolk and Waveney we can include here?  Please get in touch with us: nwicb.cancerprogramme@nhs.net
