Y
ou have been making your own decisions and fighting your own battles for years. Then when breast cancer comes along,
you can find yourself being relegated to the status of a patient, a body, a passive observer in your own treatment. The team at Breast Cancer Haven
believes that it doesn’t have to be this way. This innovative charity treats everyone as a person, not a patient. More importantly, a person who deserves to be in control of their life, their treatment and their cancer journey. Breast Cancer Haven is the charity that supports women through breast cancer treatment. It provides counselling
and
therapies that are designed around a person with breast cancer – and aims to help them be themselves again. Sometimes that person can get lost
during cancer treatment, but the team at Breast Cancer Haven is determined not to let that happen. When breast cancer tries to rob someone of their individuality, their confidence or their strength, the charity steps in to provide tailored package of emotional, physical and practical support that helps them hold on to these qualities. This is achieved via
a network of
welcoming centres around the UK and through an expanding network of other services. Breast Cancer Haven is here to provide those with breast cancer the support that medical treatment alone is unable to deliver. So how does it work? Breast Cancer
Haven offers advice on practical things like money and work, helps with combatting stress, exhaustion and nausea and supplies information on healthy eating and exercise. Most importantly though, there is always be someone at Breast Cancer Haven to talk to about your deepest fears. The charity’s trained professional nurses, therapists, counsellors and advisers listen to your individual concerns and can offer all the practical, emotional and physical support that you may need in bespoke package, devised especially for you. Breast Cancer Haven’s support is free of charge and they rely on charitable donations – hence the importance of major fundraising events such as our Ladies’ Charity
Polo are so important. The beauty of Breast Cancer
Haven is that its doors are open to
everyone – whether you have just been diagnosed, are having treatment or in recovery – with no need for a doctor’s referral or any geographical restrictions. All you do is contact Breast Cancer Haven, make an appointment and the charity will take it from there. Each visitor to Breast Cancer Haven
can expect to receive up to 10 free hours of supportive therapy time. In addition, they will also receive two hours of nurse specialist time at the beginning and end of their tailored programme. This free support is also available to men who have been diagnosed with breast cancer. Incredibly the counselling is not confined just to the person with the breast cancer
