A Member's Story Over the years I had driven past the Cancer Help Centre but I had never contacted them. However, whilst in hospital having my second (prophylactic) mastectomy I started talking to another patient who was very enthusiastic about the place. She assured me that the Centre worked in conjunction with the doctors and, encouraged by her experience, I joined. Oh how I wish I had become a member earlier. The complementary therapies I receive lift my spirits; the Younger Peoples Support Group enables me to talk to like-minded individuals and the craft workshop allows me to express myself through art. The most gratifying aspect though is the laughter, the camaraderie and the inspiration I get from the other members. I have lived with cancer for a long time and I know that there are no certainties in life and nobody has all the answers but my advice is that if you have cancer and need support, don't drive past the Cancer Help Centre - drop in!
