We had a great time selling bits and doing nail art for donations at Manor Park Library's fun day yesterday. Thanks to Andrew and the team for inviting us again :)

We had blazing hot weather and a good crowd for our Fundraising BBQ yesterday! Nearly £500 was raised at the BBQ and from a very generous £100 donation from Mr Patel of London's in Church Road, who has carried one of our collection boxes for many years. Special thank yous to staff & members who donated the food and drinks, and especially to Nigel from the Association for Prostate Awareness for donating loads of food AND cooking it for us!

Very, VERY important. We welcome LGBTQ+ patients and carers into our little family, but sometimes have to address misconceptions from others.

In 2016, Marie Curie published an excellent report on the difficulties faces by LGBTQ+ people in end of life care. Click to download and read the PDF version of that report.

So important during Pride month, and at any other time thereafter: “Trans people, or those who don’t identify as being a woman, need to know that cervical screening is for them, especially as there are a lot of myths about who needs to be screened and not.”

And yes, it's available FREEE for patients in the UK!

We will be having an American-themed fundraising BBQ on Weds July 4th! All welcome but please RSVP so we know how many we're cooking for :) See flyer.... especially the very bottom :)

Immunotherapy - the most hopeful development in the fight against cancer.

Wishing Pat a very happy retirement! She has worked with many of our patients, her and Brian have been immensely popular.

This podcast really is good for both patients and those who are around them. Go download them now!

Sikhs face particular difficulties when going through Chemo ...

Live rollout for our area is 25th July 2018 :( We are going to get a lot busier as UC disproportionately affects sick and disabled claimants.

WATCH THIS SPACE... we will be having a USA themed fundraising BBQ on Wednesday 4th July! "Dump Trump" t-shirts welcome ;)

We'll be sharing some articles about LGBT+ people's experiences with cancer diagnosis and care through Pride month. Some of out LGBT+ clients have faced lack of understanding and outright discrimination at the hands of the NHS and the care system, it's time for that to stop.

This Pride month, it's important to realise that LGBT+ people are disproportionately affected by cancer, both in terms of getting diagnosed, and in discrimination while they are undergoing treatment. We'd just like to remind you all that CYANA is a totally inclusive organisation, and whatever your orientation or gender identification, you are all welcome here - your ACE/ARO manager, Tina :).

The only charity of its kind in the area - excellent support and sympathy, makes all the difference.
