The LWS supports anybody affected by cancer at any point from time of diagnosis onwards. The face-to-face sessions are based in the community welcome people living with a cancer diagnosis, anybody supporting them as well as professionals supporting people affected by cancer. The sessions are free to attend, there is a free lunch provided on the day and all of the information spoken about is shared following the session. The topics discussed are: fatigue, physical activity, emotional wellbeing and nutrition. We discuss how to safely self-manage these four topics or if you are supporting someone living with a cancer diagnosis, how you can support them treatment and beyond. The session provides: • Self-help ideas and tips • Sharing and listening to experiences • Signposting to local support • Information and support about cancer and its side effects
