In a recent heartfelt statement, Catherine, Princess of Wales, opened up about the “difficult phase” of her cancer recovery. She spoke about how this time of healing, after treatment ends, can be every bit as emotional and challenging as the treatment itself. Her words reflect the experience of many people who have been impacted by breast cancer and serve as a powerful reminder that recovery doesn’t stop when the treatment ends.
At The House of Hope Scotland, we know that aftercare is not an afterthought but an essential part of healing.
That’s why the support and wellbeing services we offer extend far beyond the clinical hospital setting. We will be offering a wide range of classes, workshops, therapies, and drop-in support groups designed to help people recover in body, mind and spirit.
These will include
Gentle movement and rehabilitation through yoga, Pilates, and strength-building classes
Holistic therapies such as specialist oncology massage to ease side effects and promote relaxation
Creative workshops to help process emotions and reconnect with the joy of life
Peer support groups where you can share, listen, and feel understood
Practical wellbeing sessions on nutrition and self-care
Of course, we know that everyone’s recovery journey is different, but we believe that no one should have to walk it alone. And that extends to the family and friends of people recovering from breast cancer; we know how much the journey impacts them too, and we are here to support them, as they support their loved ones.
Whether you’re newly diagnosed, in the middle of treatment, or months or years down the line, The House of Hope is here for you. Our care doesn’t stop when your treatment ends. In many ways, that’s where it really begins, with a journey of hope.
Our care doesn’t stop when your treatment ends.
