I have just been diagnosed with cancer
No one wants to hear the words ‘you have cancer’ and it’s very normal to experience a whole range of emotions like shock, fear, anger, sadness and even guilt. You may have questions about your diagnosis and treatment options or want to know how best you can support yourself.
Whatever you are experiencing right now, we are here for you.
For over 40 years we have been helping people just like you to support your health and wellbeing with cancer before, during and after treatment.
How we can help
Each week we offer a range of online group sessions, personal consultations and in-person activities that are free to join wherever you live in the UK.
From relaxation sessions and yoga classes, to wellbeing days and retreats, our expert team of doctors, nutritionists, exercise specialists, counsellors and wellbeing practitioners can help you to feel more physically and emotionally resilient, and give you back a sense of control and hope, whatever your prognosis.
"A wonderful, informative, empowering session. Penny Brohn UK is vital to my wellbeing"
Where do I start?

Personal consultations
If you need more personalised support with specific concerns we can offer one-to-one consultations with our specialist team, including our integrative medical doctors. Our doctors do not diagnose or prescribe and cannot offer a second opinion, but they can help you understand more about your diagnosis and treatment options and share ideas about how you can use lifestyle and complementary approaches to support your health and wellbeing.
If you would like to speak to one of our team to understand what support is best for your right now, our Client Support team is here for you Mondays to Fridays 10am – 4pm with support and guidance.
