Working with medical professionals and through the provision of peer to peer support if required we can assist with joining 2nds Together in times of uncertainty.

Black Women Rising
blackwomenrisinguk.orgThe Leanne Pero Foundation and Black Women Rising was founded in 2017 by
multi award winning entrepreneur and Stage Three breast cancer survivor Leanne
Pero.
Black Women Rising was created to address the gaps in cancer support services for
Black cancer patients. Mainstream cancer services are not inclusive enough and do
not provide adequate support tailored to the Black and ethnic community. Similarly,
the community are not engaging with medical services which is leading to later
diagnosis and unnecessary deaths at a disproportionate level than women in other
groups.
Our monthly peer support groups are at the heart of our project. We also created the
first all-Black female cancer portrait exhibition which has toured London. We recently
launched our podcast and magazine.
All of this helps to fulfil our aims, which are to empower, raise awareness, promote
wellness within our community and ultimately save lives.

Counselling with Cancer
counsellingwithcancer.co.ukClaire believes ‘Cancer Changes Everything Forever’ and it is so important to look after yourself Mentally, Emotionally and Physically whether you are the patient, the family or the friend.
Main issues cancer patients have when they come to you:
There are so many reasons clients come to me who have been affected by cancer, some are trying to come to terms with their cancer or diagnosis, or family members are looking for ways of supporting their families or trying to cope with the tragic news, friends are coming to terms with the news and wonder what to say or do, patients feel like they have lost their identity and want to be who they are and not the C word and then of course there is bereavement. Some of my clients are young adults that have been through their teenage years watching their parent be unwell and having to grow up very quickly and then coming to terms with their loss. Cancer is such a destructive disease it leaves a huge ripple effect through their families and friends. Cancer really does affect everyone and everything around them

Drain Dollies
draindollies.co.ukBefore I went in for my surgery I searched high and low for surgical drain bags. I knew I was going to be discharged from hospital with these drains, how was I to manage? I knew I was going to have drains in for at least 12 days and didn't want to be house bound. Equally though I didn't want to get funny looks in the street or feel embarrassed.
Unfortunately hospitals do not readily give out things to contain the drains in for patients use and I saw ladies using plastic carrier bags and pillow cases. It is so inconvenient not having the use of your hands. There is no reason to be house bound after breast surgery by any means, these bags enable you to get out and about which will aid your recovery process. They also come in some really nice patterns and colours to give you that extra boost when your feeling lousy and not so good about yourself.

It’s only the cost of a stamp but the effect on the person receiving your letter will be immeasurable.

Leanne Pero Foundation
theleanneperofoundation.comThe Leanne Pero Foundation and Black Women Rising was founded in 2017 by
multi award winning entrepreneur and Stage Three breast cancer survivor Leanne
Pero.
Black Women Rising was created to address the gaps in cancer support services for
Black cancer patients. Mainstream cancer services are not inclusive enough and do
not provide adequate support tailored to the Black and ethnic community. Similarly,
the community are not engaging with medical services which is leading to later
diagnosis and unnecessary deaths at a disproportionate level than women in other
groups.
Our monthly peer support groups are at the heart of our project. We also created the
first all-Black female cancer portrait exhibition which has toured London. We recently
launched our podcast and magazine.
All of this helps to fulfil our aims, which are to empower, raise awareness, promote
wellness within our community and ultimately save lives.
