Adu’s Story
I was diagnosed with Prostate cancer in June 2018 and had Robotic Prostatectomy in August 2018. After the surgery I had a few complications where I had NHS treatment.
When I was at this NHS facility one of the nurses had mentioned MY CANCER MY CHOICES as a good place where I can get support to recover from my surgery and also to put my worries at ease.
I was initially skeptical as I was told the services are free, but when I called the offices to enquire about their services, the staff were soo welcoming and did their best to explain everything to me.
The staff informed me all the services offered and I think within a week I was offered one service REFLEXLOGY. I had no idea what it was but decided to give it a try. My first treatment I was introduced to a lady who immediately made me feel comfortable and welcome.
The atmosphere at the treatment room was serene and nice. I immediately felt at ease and relaxed with the treatments.
I had six sessions of reflexology and after that I was offered the TAI CHI which, I was very curious as well. Once again the instructor was soo friendly kind and very helpful taking us through the sessions. I was soo happy anytime I go to these sessions that I decided to continue doing all the slots I was offered.
My last session was the MINDFULNESS which I was told was very popular and I have to be on waiting list. I was therefore surprised when after about two weeks of booking the course I was offered a place. Once again the instructor was a kind person who took her time to help me to overcome some of my worries through mindfulness meditation.
I have to say that my experiences with MY CANCER MY CHOICES has been very rewarding and I would recommend anyone who is recovering from cancer treatments.
All these courses I took has helped me in different ways to overcome those difficult times in my life.
