We understand that receiving a diagnosis of bowel cancer and going through treatment and recovery can create a huge strain on you and your nearest and dearest. Our compassionate, friendly staff are committed to supporting you in whatever way they can, whether that is answering your questions, providing a clear explanation of what to expect during your treatment, ensuring you have access to the very latest care, treating you with dignity and respect during your time with us or simply providing a listening ear.
We recognise that this is a tough journey for anyone to take so when a patient comes to us for diagnosis and treatment, we aim to meet not only their care needs but also their need for understanding, support and reassurance.
Eating well can help to support your body’s own immune system to fight the disease, as well as keeping you fit and well during your treatment, which can sometimes make you feel tired and may cause uncomfortable side-effects.
A cancer diagnosis can be physically and emotionally demanding but while you may be understandably tired and anxious, this doesn’t mean you have to give up physical exercise. In fact, exercising can help you to prepare yourself for cancer treatment.
Palliative care is the emotional support and practical advice we offer to help people with cancer to manage their symptoms, cope with the physical and emotional impact of having cancer and improve their quality of life.
