Introducing MelaNoMore
As patients living with melanoma, we understand that receiving the diagnosis can be a frightening, confusing and isolating experience. That’s why, with assistance of St Luke’s Skin Cancer Team and Macmillan Cancer Support, we’ve joined forces to create our local support group MelaNoMore.
A support group for anyone attending St Luke’s Cancer Support Centre, RSCH and/or the associated linked Hospital sites of Frimley Park, East Surrey, St Peter’s and Ashford.
Our next Virtual Cafe is Wed 25 Aug 10:00-11:30
