Thyroid Cancer Support Group - Wales

Tel: 0845 0092737
Web: www.thyroidsupportwales.co.uk

This support group is a small group of thyroid cancer patients in South Wales who have joined together to set up a self-help support group for the benefit of thyroid cancer patients. The group was started at the suggestion of Dr Laura Moss, Consultant Oncologist at Velindre Hospital in Whitchurch, Cardiff. Dr Moss is their Honorary President.

The group first got together in December 2003 under the guidance of Tenovus Specialist Nurse, Heidi Trotman. Letters were sent to patients to enquire whether anyone would be interested in forming a self help group. A very positive response was received and so the group was formed.

The groups aims:

  • To Educate - to achieve better understanding of the condition.
  • To Participate - so others learn from their experience.
  • To Communicate - so everyone better understands each others needs.

PS - Health and Poverty

Perhaps the biggest cause of ill health in the world is poverty. Help to Make Poverty History. For example, why not lend some of your money to disadvantaged communities to enable them to trade their way out of poverty through schemes such as Shared Interest.

See also MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY North East for details and links to campaigns against poverty.
