“I think it's a terrific programme and I was so glad to be able to have the 6 sessions with the same person. She had a real empathy towards breast cancer patients. I also don't know what I would do without my Dimbleby pillow”

Researching areas others don't

Only around 5% of cancer research spending in the UK is on care.

DCC provides up to £1m annually for research into cancer care & support.

Care centres that go beyond medical treatment

Over a quarter of people living with cancer receive no support other than treatment.

DCC's centres provide a range of care, comfort & support that goes beyond just treatment

Dimbleby Cancer Care has a small number of staff, therefore our ability to answer detailed questions on cancer care, symptoms or treatments is limited. However we are pleased to try and help you, by directing you to others who may be able to help.
