Our Stories
Cancer patients and their families are at the heart of what we do. Read a selection of inspirational stories from the people we’ve helped and hear from those who volunteer and support our work.
Andy’s Story
Andy's prostate cancer diagnosis ultimately left him with severe incontinence and other ongoing health issues. He now wants to raise awareness about the need for more public venues to have bins for men in their facilities.
Jayne’s story
Jayne saw her step-dad pass away from prostate cancer and has had two lots of cancer operations herself - she wants to use her experience to help others and has become a valued cancer champion.
Alice’s Story
Marc’s daughter Alice Christian vows to continues his legacy for Lingen Davies
Catherine’s Story
Catherine found a peppercorn-sized lump in her breast and since then has had recurring breast cancer. She shares her experience to help and suppport others.
This is great news! iCan is a Lingen Davies-funded project which is free for patients to access.
iCan Core (5-week) programme really does help people to live better, with and beyond Cancer as this evidence helps to show!

A big thank you to Graham Tranter, who is currently receiving treatment at the Lingen Davies Cancer Centre and raised £534.50 at his 80th birthday party.
Thanks also to Deb Howlett who raised £468.50 from a recent garden party she held. Deb has been a very keen supporter and volunteer since her cancer diagnosis years ago. She is pictured here with her 12-year-old niece Lily who helped her out at the party and accompanies Deb to lots of our events.
Lastly Weston Under Red Castle donated £3,000 from their Village Show in August.
A HUGE thank you to all of these supporters! ... See MoreSee Less
