"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."
📢 Update 📢
Unfortuneately, due to sickness, our guest speaker is unable to attend tonight’s meeting.
Mark will be rescheduling his visit, when he is better.
Therefore, tonight’s meeting will be a ‘social evening’ where members can sit together and have a drink and a catch up!
See you tonight!
