Introduction to Preparing for Treatment

This session is the starting point for everyone on the Preparing for Treatment programme. It’s a relaxed, friendly online session, and you can simply listen and ask questions if you need to. Learn more about our Preparing for Treatment Programme In this session, we will cover: Why prehabilitation matters -what the research tells us about preparing physically and emotionally before treatment, and how it can make a real difference to how you feel going in and recovering afterwards How Penny Brohn UK can support you- an overview of what the programme offers across movement, nutrition and emotional wellbeing, and what’s available to you through your digital hub What to expect next -what happens once you’ve completed your questionnaire and when you might need support Your questions, answered -every session ends with open Q&A time, so you can ask about anything that’s on your mind Unable to join the session live? You can access the on demand version below, just book one as if it was a session, but you'll get sent a video link instead of a session link. Already started treatment? We also have a Treatment Support Programme for those wanting to explore evidence-based ways to support their health and wellbeing before, during and after cancer treatment.

More about The Dings

Bristol, England

The Dings sits quietly in Bristol, a neighbourhood where the pavement feels like it was poured yesterday. Without a single venue name to shout about, we still know exactly which street corners are buzzing with life and which ones are perfect for a quiet chat over tea. It is not about grand stages or famous halls but rather the little gatherings that happen down the alleyways. You can find a pop-up market in one shop window and a community meeting in the next before you have walked past half the postboxes. That is how we keep things interesting without needing a single event listing site to tell us what to do.
