    Situation

    Approximately 60% of cancer patients having chemotherapy in the UK will experience related side effects. Experience shows that while hospital oncology departments give excellent advice regarding their treatment patients are rarely provided with a kit of useful remedies so that they can address the symptoms as they occur. Being prepared for the side effects can help patients to work on their symptoms early enough to alleviate them so that they can better respond to & cope with their treatment

    Respite & Recovery have build on our success this year in providing Chemotherapy Care Packs containing products & advice on preparing for & dealing with the side effects of chemotherapy as they may occur. Our beneficiaries have found them the most helpful
