Care, Advice and Friendship

I had breast cancer twelve years ago and my boys were struggling with it. I made good use of the caravan at Hopton with my family.

My head was really bad, and I had to talk to somebody in here. It helped me so much. My head is a lot clearer and free. It was so powerful.

I think I’d have been lost if I couldn’t come here.

My husband loved coming here because they were always cheerful and positive.

To come in and hear the laughter is an absolute tonic.  Sometimes it’s not laughter, sometimes it’s tears and it’s hugs and it’s everything.  It’s an absolute joy.

I lost my Mum and this lovely lot picked me up.

To me, it’s a big thing to have people that you can just come in to talk to.

It’s just nice to talk to somebody who knows.

“Exceptionally supportive to my brother during his illness as well as being a great support to me and my family following loss of my brother a few months ago !! Excellent charity doing excellent work xxx”

“WOW!!! So much to say, but so little space to write it!!

I’m not sure where I would be without DCC! I met Zoe after I was diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer. I faced 6 months of chemo, followed by an operation and then Radiotherapy.

My reason for getting in touch was to ask if they knew anywhere to get a wig from, little did I know, that almost 1yr on from then, I’d be visiting once a month for complementary reflexology (which is still supported, even though I’ve finished my treatment!!) once a month for a coffee morning (not just amazing cakes, but a chance to meet other people going through the same or loved ones and supporters of the centre) or once a month for Bingo.

I’ve met some truly amazing and inspirational people through DCC, who I’ve shared my journey and my story with and these people, I believe, will be friends for life. I cannot recommend Zoe and the Centre more. The biggest thank you from me, for everything you do.xx”
