Very Important Cancer Conversations

Very Important Cancer Conversations is about hearing real stories from people who have been affected by cancer in Suffolk and north east Essex. No matter your screening or diagnosis journey your experiences are valuable and can make a difference.

Whether you have had a personal experience or supported someone through theirs, your voice matters here. Your story can inspire and support others who might be experiencing something similar.

If you would like to share your story please reach out, we are listening.
