We have become aware of the O.P.A. and would like to to share their details with you. The OPA is a caring organisation providing good quality information for patients, their carers and family affected by oesophageal or gastric cancers. At whatever stage of your illness – recently diagnosed or some years on, facing treatment by chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery or palliative care – we can help. We fully understand your worries and fears and can give the support you need in order to achieve the best possible quality of life.

Cake Morning raises £60.00

Leave a Reply

A big thank-you to Noel Walsh and everyone who donated their cakes, time and cash to help raise a great £60.00 for Headcases. The event was a cake morning, held recently at Stafford Job Centre.

Our Chairman, Fred was pleased to announce the donation at our July meeting held this Wednesday. The meeting was well attended, and we were especially pleased to have return visits from some who have only recently completed their treatment.
