Second Chance Head and Neck Cancer GroupEveryone said parking was easy and they enjoyed the chance to catch up. We agreed some topics for the next couple of sessions so come and join us at 14.30 on 15/12/22. We have had to cancel our planned topic due to disruption of the train services that would make travel difficult for our session leader. We will be Christmassy instead!
Unfortunately our Group activities were forced into hibernation by Covid during 2020 and 2021.
2022 has seen a re awakening Ā of our Groupās activities which we have attempted to make more varied and exciting. They are detailed elsewhere on the Website.
This year we have welcomed some new and active members to the Group and we look forward to seeing more new faces in the the coming weeks and months.
We plan to recommence our Thursday morning Head and Neck MDT Clinic coffee mornings however because it is on hospital grounds before we can start we need to catch up with the Hospitalās statutory and mandatory training.
Our monthly ādrop inā afternoons are starting again on the third THURSDAY of each month and commence this month on the 17th. November. They are for New and Old Group members.
We are now holding these meetings at Shalford Village Hall which has many advantages including being in walking distance of the Shalford Train station and there is a map showing the way there elsewhere on the website.
The upcoming dates of these meetings, all of which will have a theme to the meeting, are: 17th. November Ā andĀ 15th. December 2022Ā thenĀ 19th. January 2023., etc.
All the meetingsĀ start at 2.30pm. We look forward to seeing many of you at these meetings.
N.B. Ā Ā Donāt forget the usual Christmas PartyĀ on 10th. December at the usualĀ venue of the Royal Surrey County Hospital Social Club in Gill Avenue GuildfordĀ at 2.00pm. RSVP please before 3/12/22.
Best wishes to everyone
Patrick.

On a wet and unusually windy Saturday in November we raised just over Ā£200 at the Cranleigh School Christmas Fair. Our thanks to all the people who came out and bought things from the stall. The Christmas chutney was our best seller this year. The money will be used for the Christmas Party and fund the hire of the Village Hall in Shalford for our new monthly meetings.
Please come and join us at Shalford Village Hall (GU4 8BQ) on the third Thursday of every month usually 2.30-4.00 pm. (This can vary due to the speakerās availability). You will also have an opportunity to meet other members over a cup of tea or coffee.
We also arrange talks and activities .. details of which will be posted on the website and emailed to membersā¦ā¦.If you canāt make it you can always get in touch with us: info@headandneckcancer.life
