"Breast cancer was diagnosed and my cancer journey began, somewhat shell-shocked I was on an unplanned new path.

I need not have worried, a referral to the Hospice by the Oncology team has given me wonderful support and made such a positive difference to me.

I was referred for complimentary therapy and met the wonderful Janet and her healing hands!!

I have been so lucky to have several Aromatherapy, Reflexology and Reiki appointments with her. It has been really beneficial, relaxing my mind and body prior to chemotherapy sessions.

Recently I have been fortunate to have the support of Jo with her Anxiety and Stress management sessions. A quiet opportunity to reflect on my treatment programme and manage my emotions in a positive way forward.

I cannot praise the support offered by Hospice highly enough. Everyone I have met there has been truly amazing, kind, supportive and positive. We are beyond fortunate to have this service available, and free of charge. I would recommend any patients offered these services to take advantage of them. I am sure it will improve your well-being.”
