Our objectives are to help new patients and their families to cope with any difficulties arising as a result of treatment, giving support and encouraging them to make a good recovery. This is done by visiting patients in hospital, where possible, before and/or after treatment; establishing contact with them at home during their convalescence; providing information leaflets on matters of concern and arranging meetings of patients.
