Wessex cancer trust
Wessex cancer trust believes that there should be help and support available to everyone living with cancer, when and where they need it.
One in two of us will be diagnosed with cancer in our lifetime. A diagnosis can be a shock and have a huge impact on an entire family.
Wessex cancer trust provides free and local emotional support to anyone living with cancer.

Bournemouth Cancer Support CentreCancer Screening
Cancer screening is a test that looks for early signs of cancer in people without symptoms.
It can help spot cancers at an early stage, when treatment is more likely to be successful. Cervical screening can even prevent cancer from developing.
Cancer screening is for people with no symptoms. If you have symptoms, don’t wait for a screening invitation – tell your doctor as soon as possible.
