  • I don't sweat the small stuff any more
    Apr 4 2023

    When Justine Wise was diagnosed with breast cancer, she found the depth and breadth of support from FORCE made a massive difference to her and her family. 
    She was held and supported while she became physically and emotionally stronger, during and after treatment.
    The mum-of-two is now a powerful advocate for the work of our charity and in our latest podcast, she talks openly about her cancer journey. 
    If you or someone close to you has been diagnosed with cancer and you need support, advice or information, contact FORCE today.

  • Cancer and a healthy diet
    Mar 1 2023

    Rosie Martin is a former zoologist now working in the field of health and nutrition in Exeter.
    She is an Occupational Health and Wellbeing Dietician at the Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust.
    Rosie has worked with a wide variety of patients within NHS acute and community settings and has specialised in both gastroenterology and oncology.
    In the latest FORCE podcast she talks to our Information Nurse Jayne Fahy about eating well through a cancer diagnosis and beyond.
    Between them they tackle many of the questions posed by patients calling and visiting the FORCE Support and Information Centre.
    They also bust a few common myths about what - or what not to - eat and drink when cancer affects your life.
    Clinical Nurse Specialists can offer advice to cancer patients how to access NHS services.
    If you'd like to speak to someone at FORCE about anything connected with your cancer diagnosis call our experienced nursing team on 01392 406151 or email support@forcecancercharity.co.uk

  • Looking good and feeling better
    Jan 31 2023

    Living with cancer can be physically and emotionally challenging.
    This can be particularly true when there are visible side-effects from treatment.
    Suzanne Frost turned to FORCE when she was diagnosed with breast cancer and her appearance changed dramatically.
    In our latest podcast, Suzanne talks frankly about her experience and the positive benefits of the Look Good Feel Better course she attended.
    Look Good Feel Better is a free, one-off pampering session that teaches men, women and teens how to manage some of the visible side-effects of their cancer treatment in a practical and positive way.
    Specially trained beauty consultants provide practical and effective support for people being treated for any type of cancer. Face-to-face groups for women run on the second and fourth Tuesday of every month at our Support and Information Centre. The workshops introduce simple skincare and make-up skills in an informative, lively and fun way.
    Look Good Feel Better has a large selection of online sessions now available including ones for teen groups, men – which offer expert advice on cleansing, exfoliating, shaving, moisturising and sun protection – as well as gentle exercise classes.
    Look Good Feel Better is an independent charity.
    To find out about FORCE and Look Good Feel Better, call Shelley Boult on 01392 408535.
