Throughout your care with us your health and wellbeing is really important.

Why should I focus on my health and wellbeing?

Focussing upon your general health and your mental wellbeing is really important for many reasons and it can often give you focus and sense of control over the situation that you are in:

  • Pre-habilitation - this is the effort to get your body and mind as fit as possible to cope with cancer treatment
  • Improve your quality of life to ensure that you are feeling as well as possible
  • Recovery after treatment, it can take some time to feel back to your normal self after treatment, focussing on your health and wellbeing can help this.
