brilliant local charity helped support me immensely during and after diagnosis. super friendly and great resource to anyone on their pre, during diagnosis or after diagnosis journey. 

Invaluable support from this group. I have definitely learnt so much since joining. Jodie has been a huge support post surgery and I can not thank her enough. Knowing there are so many people sailing the same storm but with a wealth of knowledge to share that makes each of our ships stronger, makes the journey a little less daunting
