A free self-management programme in Haverfordwest for anyone living with and beyond cancer starts today (Thursday).
MacmillanCancer Support is offering the course, which is designed to help people manage the emotional impact of their diagnosis.
Called HOPE, the course will take place at Haverfordwest Leisure Centre on St Thomas Green on Thursdays and will run for six weeks, from 11am to 2.15pm, starting on 16 April. A sandwich lunch is provided.
HOPE supports people affected by cancer to manage the day-to-day impact of their condition, learn proactive ways to take control of their health and wellbeing in a supportive environment and set positive goals for the future.
Susan Morris, general manager for Macmillan Cancer Support in Wales, said: “Around 18,000 people receive the devastating news that they have cancer every year in Wales and they need more than medical help. – they also need practical, emotional and financial support.
“I would strongly recommend the programme to people as it can provide them with the tools they need to manage the emotional consequences of living with cancer.”
