Cancer


Cancer is a condition where cells in a particular part of the body grow uncontrollably.  These cells are called cancerous cells and they eventually destroy the healthy tissues that surround them (e.g. organs).

Maggie's offer face to face (currently by appointment), video and telephone support.

Maggie's centre has a range of support services including advice on financial issues, cancer support specialists, psychological therapy. There are individual and group support options. Maggie's is available to support people with a cancer diagnosis and their families and does not require a referral.
