Support Groups
Anal Cancer Support Group – Sheffield
Our Anal Cancer Support Group is a friendly, patient‑led community for anyone who has been through, or is currently going through, radiotherapy treatment for anal cancer.
We understand the physical and emotional challenges because we’ve experienced them ourselves.
Here, you’ll find a space where people truly get it.
Who we are
We are a group of patients with lived experience of anal cancer and radiotherapy treatment. Each of us has faced similar worries, questions, and challenges — and it’s this shared understanding that creates a safe, supportive environment for everyone who joins.
What we offer
Our meetings provide:
- A safe, confidential space to talk about how you are coping
- Support from others who have experienced the same treatments
- A chance to share experiences, concerns, and practical tips
- Friendly conversation in a relaxed environment
Whether you feel like talking, asking questions, or simply listening, you are welcome.
How to join
There is no need to book.
You are welcome to come along to any meeting that suits you.
Just turn up — we’ll be happy to see you.
