Support for cancer patients in Wales
The Wales Cancer Alliance knows that people affected by cancer have many different needs and concerns. Their diagnosis, prognosis and treatment vary widely as do their life circumstances.
We have produced a directory of support services for cancer patients in Wales providing a wealth of information and support for everyone affected by cancer. It’s also a resource for healthcare professionals to signpost to patients, carers and their families.
