Daily living

Living with cancer and its treatment can impact on an individual and their family in many different ways.

In this section, we have put together organisations that may be able to help relating to three particular issues:

  • Disability – including those that can offer physical help as well as those that offer help to do with your rights.
  • Appearance – a wide range of organsiations who can help with anything to do with your appearance and includes people who help with facial disfigurement as well an organisation who give advice about skincare and make-up to women who have been diagnosed with cancer.
  • Getting care – includes a number of organisations and suppliers who offer help relating to the care of someone with cancer as well as obtaining equipment.
