BETSI Cadwaladr University Health Board and Macmillan Cancer Support have teamed up to run an event offering advice on a range of issues associated with cancer treatment.

The health and wellbeing session, hosted at the Celtic Royal Hotel, Caernarfon, on November 20, is open to anybody affected by cancer, including patients and their families, with participants welcome to drop in at a convenient time. Registration opens at 9.30am.

Information on diet and lifestyle choices, fatigue management and emotional support, and access to local community support services will all be covered in the sessions. Advice and guidance on welfare benefits will also be available.

Hannah Hughes, Macmillan Health and Wellbeing Project Lead for North Wales, said: “This is the third year we’ve been running the Health and Wellbeing events, and we’ve seen their popularity increase significantly every year.

“We saw more than 350 patients, families, friends and carers in 2018, and hope to provide useful support and information to even more people throughout this year.

“Anybody affected by cancer is welcome to attend, and can bring a friend or family member along for support if they wish. The sessions are friendly, informal and really welcoming, and we hope they’ll help provide valuable additional information to that already provided by the Health Board.”
