The Sussex Cancer Fund is continuing to support Cancer patients and their families during the Covid-19 virus with virtual advice sessions.
The Sussex Cancer Fund and Dr Carolyn Rubens are running a live interactive Facebook event covering anxiety and well-being in these challenging times.
The Sussex Cancer Fund is continuing to support the Sussex Cancer Centre and other cancer departments in the County but they are also trying to find ways to continue to support Cancer Patients in their homes through the virus crisis. They understand that anxiety among patients will be at an all-time high so continuing to support them through these very stressful times is exceptionally important.
Some of the services the Sussex Cancer Fund usually provide like the medical acupuncture and therapeutic massage have been put on hold for safety reasons but they are holding online sessions from some of their practitioners, covering self-massage techniques and advice on anxiety and general wellbeing for cancer patients, their families or indeed anyone that feels they could do with some additional support at this time.
The first of these sessions will take place on Facebook on Wednesday 1st April at 11.00 am.
The Sussex Cancer Fund and Dr Carolyn Rubens are running a live interactive Facebook event covering anxiety and well-being in these challenging times.
