Bridie—CTS programme participant testimonial
“The programme taught us how to deal with fatigue and how to better structure our energy and strength.
I found the action plan very useful as it helped improve my day to day routine. It increased my confidence and motivation levels .The programme created an awareness of many things I had forgotten about.
Chemotherapy does that to people and one’s memory is not as good as before. For that alone, I would highly recommend this course to others,”
The programme will commence on Thursday 25th October in the centre and will be facilitated by Kathy Kearney & Lucia Canavan. Booking is essential as places are limited.
