Looking after yourself before and during treatment can help your wellbeing. It may ease side effects, boost your strength, and help you feel more in control.
Eating well, staying active, and caring for your emotional wellbeing can all make a difference. We’ve shared some helpful resources on this page to support you.
We know making changes can feel hard, especially during cancer treatment — but you’re not alone. We’re here to help if you need support. Contact a support and information specialist if you have any questions about what you can do to prepare for and manage your treatment well:

You’ll learn about managing your emotions, eating well, being active, and coping with fatigue during treatment. The workshop is led by two support and information specialists who can answer any questions you may have about coping with treatment.
The workshop is held online on the 3rd Wednesday of each month, from 10am to 11.30am. To book your place, email uclh.
