Progress in our understanding of the cancers in recent years has meant that many more people now have successful treatment following diagnosis. This means a substantial number of the 8,700 new cases in the province each year need support, practical help and advice to cope with the implications of having cancer, as do their families.

The Ulster Cancer Foundation has a dedicated team who offer a wide range of services in the following areas:

• Cancer Telephone Helpline
• Experienced Cancer Counseling
• Patient support Groups
• Patient to patient home and hospital visits
• Specialist fitting service
• Support programmes
