Health and Wellbeing events are designed to support people to self-manage from the time they receive their cancer diagnosis, during treatment and with any long term effects. They are open to all Northamptonshire patients, their relatives and carers.
We offer live interactive question and answer sessions with panels comprising healthcare professionals, for:
- Advising on all aspects of care and treatment for some tumour sites;
- Helping with more general subjects such as – answering questions about cancer; keeping well; managing effects of treatment and what happens when treatment finishes.

The Northants Cancer Guide provides information and support on a range of topics from help with practical needs through to emotional concerns with links to organisations that may be able to offer help. There is also a Cancer Pathway Map setting out further information about how your treatment may progress and gives definitions to some of the medical terminology you may enounter.
