I've just been diagnosed
After diagnosis, you can take practical steps to prepare yourself for what’s to come.
This can include sorting out wigs and headwear and looking into breast prostheses. You could find out what financial support you’re eligible for, and decide what you need to talk to your doctor, your family, and your employer about.Patient information events
There are no upcoming events at the moment, but watch this space for announcements.
In the meantime you might like to take a look at similar events that we've done in the past.

Moving forward after treatment
Congratulations on finishing treatment. Celebrate, you’ve earned it!
Moving forward, there are a few treatment side-effects to look out for. If you’re having trouble readjusting to life after cancer, our support services could help.
