£20,000 lifeline for clinic dealing with cancer treatment side-effects
Dan Hill, of Rosemere
A charity clinic which helps former cancer patients suffering with side-effects in South Cumbria has been given a £20,000 lifeline from Barrowâs Sir John Fisher Foundation.
The money will enable the Late Effects Pelvic Radiation Disease Clinic at Rosemere Cancer Centre, South Cumbria and Lancashireâs regional specialist cancer treatment and radiotherapy centre at the Royal Preston Hospital, to keep on treating patients.
The clinic opened in February of last year and it was feared it would not continue due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Charity Rosemere Cancer Foundation agreed to fund its set up and running costs for its first three years â a commitment of £283,521.
