hi everyone,

I wanted to tell people about the above care centre. I attended one of their courses last weekend and it was fantastic. They teach you about their healthy living "Bristol approach".

Have a look on their website for details. I have been on a roller coaster since being diagnosed stage 4 last December. I have had chemo, surgery then more chemo.

I am now waiting for further tests as it looks like I am already having a recurrence. I have obviously been very stressed. However I feel so much more in control since returning from the Penny Brohn centre.

They teach you about having a healthy diet and various relaxation techniques. The Bristol approach is something that you use alongside your treatments and can help you deal with them.

I found out about the centre from someone else's blog so wanted to share my experience with lots of other people. It is worth checking it out.

So glad you got so much support from them. I found their site so useful when I was first diagnosed, nearly 9 years ago now, I used one of their tapes which I used with my Walkman ( a blast from the past!), which had relaxation, visualisation and meditation sections. I still use it from time to time when I find it hard to sleep. Never fails. Their advice on vitamins and healthy eating is spot on. I often recommend the site to women on here, as I found it very useful to support what I was already doing.

All the best
