HALT is a Patients' Support Group for sufferers of liver tumours involving patients, their spouses/relatives, friends and Health Professionals. The group was formed in October 1994, when twelve patients who had undergone liver treatment under the care of Consultant Surgeon Mr David J Sherlock at North Manchester General Hospital and their partners, met to share their experiences and consequently found tremendous reassurance.
HALT is currently organised by a voluntary committee including patients, spouses and persons who have been involved with liver cancer. Activities include the following.
- To hold meetings to enable members to get together and share their experiences and feelings with one another.
- To offer support to patients during their stay in hospital.
- To give information on where to go for counselling.
- To make information from other cancer organisations eg Cancerlink and Cancerbackup.
- To increase public and professional awareness of treatments for liver cancer.
- To support treatment of liver tumours by voluntary fundraising.
