Amazing treatments

"Amazing treatments"

About: Fern Centre

(as a staff member posting for a patient/service user),

I have been using the Fern Centre after and during my battle with breast cancer. Cancer is a very lonely experience and having somewhere like the Fern Centre allows you to escape the awkwardness of everyone and everything. The friendly volunteers there help you feel relaxed and normal.

The treatments are amazing. They really help with the stress of it all. I have had the reflexology and Reiki and would wholeheartedly recommend both.

Dear sagittaxq44

Thank you for leaving feedback about the Fern centre. I'm so sorry that you feel your Breast cancer battle has been a lonely one, but reassured that you have found support and relaxation at the fern centre. It is heart-warming to hear the positive effects that they provide there.

If you need any further help accessing services for support with your breast cancer, or just an ear to listen, please do give me or the Breastcare nurses a call

Kind regards

Pippa

Breast oncology nurse specialist
