Welcome to Penny Brohn Cancer Care

We are here to support men and women affected by cancer at any stage of their illness. We are also here for families and supporters of those living with cancer.

We are the pioneers in complementary cancer care: the Bristol Approach.


You may have been diagnosed with cancer yourself or be supporting someone who has. Being diagnosed with cancer or being told your cancer has returned can be a traumatic and life-changing event. People often describe feeling shocked, disorientated, angry, frustrated, scared, isolated, in need of support and often unsure what to do for the best. We can help you change the way you live with cancer.

Medical investigations and treatments can be intensive, stressful and draining. You will often be offered a wide range of information often from various sources which can become confusing and overwhelming. At this time we can provide information, psychological and emotional support and practical lifestyle advice.
 
Support for you and those supporting you
We are aware that a diagnosis of cancer does not just affect the person diagnosed, but impacts on the family or those close to that person. It is for this reason that we extend our services to a family member or carer supporting a person living with cancer.
 
We are complementary, offering support alongside your medical treatment
Our support is complementary, this means it can be used alongside the medical treatment you may already have had or be receiving. Your medical team will focus on treating the disease; our specialists have more time to focus on the whole person. Our services are also suitable for those who have chosen not to have medical treatment, or for those where medical treatment is limited or not appropriate as well as to supporters of people living with cancer.

Penny Brohn Cancer Care has a large team of professionals working together to support you from a range of disciplines including nurses, doctors and registered therapists. The team, some with over 25 years experience of working with people with cancer, all work within the guidelines of their professional associations and those of our organisation.

Founded 28 years ago, today Penny Brohn Cancer Care supports many thousands of people affected by cancer through a range of therapeutic courses and information services. The Charity continues to set the standard in complementary cancer care and has the backing of leading oncologists, healthcare professionals and complementary
therapists.
