Being diagnosed with secondary breast cancer and coping with treatment plans can put pressure on not only your physical health but also your mental health and wellbeing.
Our Wellness Programme has been designed to help patients’ wellbeing – whether through nutrition, fitness, complementary treatments or mindfulness.
Weekly Movement & Mobility: Maintaining function and building strength through regular exercise
We are delighted to continue our partnership with Birdsong Yoga Physio to provide physio-led yoga sessions for the secondary breast cancer community, funded by the Karen Henderson Legacy Fund.
Yoga has been proven to help patients with breathing, flexibility and pain management.
We have two online classes every week - Tuesday evenings at 8pm and Friday mornings at 10am.
To join any of the sessions, please email Yvonne on the button below.
Anyone with a diagnosis of metastatic (secondary) breast cancer can apply to attend the classes.
CancerFit - The Importance of Exercise in Cancer Care
We're partnering with Exercise Prescription to bring you a series of strength training exercises, for free, that you can do in the comfort of your own home at your own pace.
Tracey - founder of Exercise Prescription - is a Level 4 Pre & Rehab Cancer Exercise Specialist. Both her and her sister Cathy both had a stage 2 breast cancer diagnosis within six weeks of each other and found that exercise, during treatment and post, really helped with their physical and mental wellbeing. Cathy’s disease has now spread and Tracey is passionate about our secondary breast cancer community being able to benefit from her programme.
Tracey and Cathy took part in our first Summit Satellite session in September last year to explain the importance of exercise with a cancer diagnosis and put together this useful Q&A document.
