Cancer Options philosophy is based on achieving the following principles of care for our clients

» A partnership between client and practitioner in the healing process

» Empowerment of the client in all elements of informed decision making

» Access to the best information available about all approaches to
treatment

» For the client to be respected, and supported in their treatment choices

» Appropriate use of conventional and alternative methods to facilitate the body's innate healing response

» Consideration of all factors that influence health, wellness and disease, including mind, spirit and community as well as body

» A philosophy that neither rejects conventional medicine nor accepts alternative medicine uncritically

» The use of natural, less invasive interventions whenever possible

» The broader concepts of promotion of health and the prevention of illness as well as the treatment of disease

YES TO LIFE

YES TO LIFE
is a new charitable initiative to open up alternative
treatment options for cancer patients in the UK.

We aim to bring a positive way forward for those who have either
exhausted conventional options, or who are simply wanting a
different approach to their condition.

To this end we are working both within the NHS and independently
to improve access to the many promising but little known non-toxic
treatments - some in common use in neighbouring EU countries -
that are either hard to obtain in the UK, or else prohibitively priced.
Our Help Centre is currently offering information, advice and
support in obtaining treatment. Ultimately we aim to have our own
treatment centre.www.yestolife.org.uk

KIDNEY CANCER UK was founded in January 2000 by Keith Taylor and Dick Williams, two kidney cancer patients. It aims  to provide UK kidney cancer patients and their carers with improved access to reliable information about kidney cancer and its treatment, and to establish a network of individuals and groups capable of offering mutual support.

 
 
 

A Maggie’s Centre is for you if you have been recently diagnosed with cancer, have been living with cancer for years or have a friend or relative who has cancer. Each Centre is situated beside an NHS Cancer Hospital and has been designed to be as un-institutional as possible, with light, space and warmth.

A Maggie’s Centre gives you choices. You can join a support group, take part in weekly sessions like relaxation and stress management or learn about nutrition and health. Or you can simply come in and sit at our kitchen table, have a cup of tea and a biscuit and start to breathe again.

Nutritional therapy, alongside other positive lifestyle changes, can play a very important supportive role in the cancer recovery process. Nutrition is particularly important for those with cancer considering that nutrient intake, digestion and absorption is very often compromised. In addition those with cancer have altered and very specific nutrient needs compared with the general population due to biochemical and metabolic changes occurring within the body.
Liz Butler is a nutritional therapist with over 10 years experience in the field of cancer nutrition. Her approach to supporting people during cancer recovery is based around rebuilding the body’s defences and correcting the internal environment making it more difficult for the cancer cells to survive.
