The regional cancer association supports people with cancer and their relatives throughout illness. It offers confidential conversation support, peer supporters and groups, and courses about adapting to life changes. Nurses answer cancer-related questions and help people make sense of information.
The association advises on financial benefits and organises groups, exercise and events. When cancer cannot be cured, nurses and a palliative care support person assist patients and relatives. Local branches also run the Unikkokerho group for children with cancer and their families.
You can share your experience of the association's support or groups below for others seeking help.
