"Cancer can be a scary and lonely time. I wasn't given much information about Guernsey based groups following my diagnosis. However, following a recommendation from a friend, I decided to go along to a GCS meeting. I haven't looked back since. Everyone at GCS is so friendly and patient. I'm so glad I found this support group."
"Finding others going through what you are also experiencing is such a relief. GCS members are so friendly and knowledgeable. They were able to answer questions that I had about cancer and cancer treatment and made me feel more confident about what I could do to support my wife and her cancer journey."
"The GCS group was such a positive experience, not only for my husband who had the cancer diagnosis, but for myself too. I have made some lifelong friends and still attend the group even though my husband sadly passed away."
🚨 Meeting Reminder 🚨
Our next meeting will be held tomorrow, Thursday 5th February at 10:30am, in the reading room at Les Cotils.
To enable us to spend some one to one time with new members we would suggest that newcomers to the group or members that would appreciate some private time with one of our team please arrive at 10:00 AM.
We will be joined by Emma Le Prevost who works at the Guernsey Institute educating Student Nurses. She would like to speak with people with lived experience of cancer in order to inform her students education in future. 🤓 📚
Our meetings are relaxed, informal and an opportunity to spend time with other members to exchange experiences and support each other.
Please note: If you are suffering with a cold or cough or you are feeling unwell, we kindly request that you do not attend the meeting.
We have some very vulnerable members and it’s important that everyone is as safe as possible.
We look forward to seeing you all on Thursday!
