If you would be interested in receiving a course of complementary therapy treatments, then please either email the team or speak to your Clinical Nurse Specialist or the Macmillan Information and Support Service.
Whilst we wish to maintain this as a free service to our cancer patients, we would be grateful if you would consider making a small donation towards the cost of these treatments, only if you are in a position to do so We appreciate that the financial impact of living with cancer can be challenging and If you feel are unable to make a donation this will in no way affect your ability to receive complementary therapies.
Any additional money raised will be fed back into the service which will hopefully mean more people can benefit from these treatments over a longer period of time.
