Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic it has been decided that the programme of events scheduled for September, October, November, and December will also be cancelled. This decision was not taken lightly but the health of our membership and the stresses on our invited guest speakers in the current health climate was a major factor in coming to this decision. it was also not possible to secure rooms with our host venue Marie Curie Hospice. I hope that the membership will understand this decision and at its heart was the protection of our members.

We will continually review the situation and hopefully start up our meetings again in the forthcoming new year.

if anyone has any articles they would like to have published in our newsletter please let me have your contributions.

you can still contact any of the committee if you need support or just someone to have a chat with.

Welcome to the Solihull Cancer Support Group.

When you come to Solihull Cancer Support Group you are no longer on you own. You immediately have at your side people who care deeply about how you are. We are trained to listen to what the situation has been and is for you now.

 

We offer the assistance of people with skills and experience who can help you to concentrate your resources so that you are able to play an active part in your own healing process.

We aim to compliment the conventional medical services by giving time and resources where at present they are scarce.

We are available to cancer patients, people who have had cancer, relatives and friends of those with cancer and those who have been bereaved through cancer.

We aim to dispel the feelings of paralysing fear and helplessness that just the mention of cancer so often causes, quite unjustifiably, in our society.
