Cancer
Every two minutes someone in the UK is diagnosed with cancer. More than 1 in 3 of us will develop cancer in some form during our lifetime. But how do you cope if it happens to you?
Many people find that having a network of friends, family and support services helps them to cope with the impact of a cancer diagnosis.
