TRANQUILLITY ROOM OPENED.
COPES has been raising money for several years to fund the refurbishment of a room where patients can go to hear their diagnosis, the results of their treatments and their prognosis. In the past this was done in a mainly surgical or clinical setting. When we asked our members what sort of setting they would have appreciated when hearing the news that they had a gynaecological cancer, what the next stages were, and what their treatment options were, they said they wanted somewhere calm, humane, where they could get info, talk to their friends/relatives and have time in an unhurried setting to take in the news.
We were greatly helped by several really generous donations, in a monetary sense but also in skills and flair, by members who are, sadly, no longer with us. Thank you to them and their families.
Here’s our Tranquillity Room. Thanks to all our fabulous contributers.
