With over 36 years’ experience, Penny Brohn understands that cancer impacts every part of life and the number affected is increasing. The Bristol Whole Life Approach they apply supports people with cancer and close supporters to participate in their health and wellbeing, and find the resources to thrive, before, during and after treatment.
It explores areas such as diet, exercise, relationships and managing stress, through free courses, one-to-one therapies, groups, a Treatment Support Clinic and a national helpline.
