GOSSIP group to learn about advances in radiotherapy

Advances in radiotherapy will be discussed by the GOSSIP health promotion and support group with Dr Petra Jankowska on Monday 27 February.

The Group, which provides advice and information for women with gynaecological cancer, was founded by the Gynaecological Cancer Specialist Nurses based in Yeovil and Taunton in partnership with women from across Somerset and Dorset who have had gynaecological cancers (i.e. cancers of the ovary, womb, vulva or cervix).

Attending meetings enables patients to meet with other women who have a similar diagnosis and may have had similar treatments. Partners, family members and friends are welcome to go along as well. A specialist nurse is present at meetings and will be happy to answer questions and discuss concerns on a one-to-one basis.

The meeting will be held in the Academy on level four in Yeovil Hospital between 5pm and 6.30pm.

Please telephone Eileen Fort at Yeovil District Hospital on 01935 384454 for more information.
