NEWSFLASH   newsletter March 2012

Purpose of Group
The group is for people that have experienced life with cancer whether as patient, partner, family member, carer or friend.
If you have had cancer or recently been diagnosed, going through treatment or know someone who has and need someone to talk to, there is no need to go through this on your own, why not come along and join us we are a cheery friendly group.

Where & When
We hold monthly meetings in the Red Cross Centre in Lochgilphead. We meet on the 2nd Monday of each month from 7 – 9pm.

We also hold informal coffee afternoons each Wednesday from 2 – 3:30pm at the ”Rumblin’ Tum Cafe” ,  in Ardrishaig. Why not come along and have a chat.

We are a support/self help group. The group is free and open to all those affected by cancer.

We try to provide topics of interest at our regular monthly meetings. One of our most popular activities was Feel Fine Foods. We acquired a grant to encourage us to eat healthier meals and snacks and to tempt us to eat when our appetites were not so good. A set of ten monthly cookery classes was organized for us to attend. Our demonstrator was Maureen Cunningham who is trained in cookery and nutrition and who devised simple quick dishes with easy to follow instructions.

We also acquired books on anticancer foods and how to adjust our diet to help prevent and fight tumours. Please ask if you wish to borrow a copy of:
