Cancer Support France

At our last meeting, Penny Parkinson, an English lady living in the Pyrenees Orientales chatted to us about her association : Cancer Support France.
It's a non profit making organisation set up to help people who have cancer or whose loved one has cancer.
Recently set up in the Pyrenees Orientales, they are looking to gain exposure to the English speaking community - if English speakers are unaware of their existence, they cannot do their stalwart work.
They provide a help line and will get back to your call within 24 hours.
Most of the counsellors have had cancer themselves or have nursed others with cancer. All are volunteers and all have had training in counselling.
It costs just 10euros to join and you should contact Penny at <frank@med-and-mountain.com>, - the national website is http://www.cancersupportfrance.info/
