H.A.W.C

HELP ADOLESCENTS WITH CANCER

We are a self help group founded in 1991 and solely depend on

donations from the public and various organisations together with

the fundraising efforts of our members.

WHAT DOES H.A.W.C. OFFER

We offer our members the opportunity to take part in social outings, group meetings, and most importantly of all, support and counseling.

By counselling we mean a space to talk, to explore feelings and

new ways of  thinking about our problems and difficulties.

You may be anxious about trying to cope with cancer or concerned

about how the treatment is going to work.

You may want to talk to someone who has already experienced

chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery or even a bone marrow

transplant, or stem cell harvesting.

You may want to know what effect the treatment will have on you.

One of the most common concerns for teenagers about to undergo

these forms of treatment is how you will look without hair.

Well there are many in the group who can advise and

reassure you.
