The East of England Cancer Alliance Patient Partnership Group would like to invite you to attend their online events.

The patient group have all experienced cancer themselves, or cared for someone with cancer, and are putting on a series of talks and information sessions designed to raise awareness and give people an opportunity to ask any questions of our expert speakers or experienced patients. We hope that you can join us.

Our latest Let's talk About Cancer event will be held on 4 June 2025 from 6.30pm to 7.30pm.

Let's Talk About Cancer - late effects after cancer treament has ended.

Late effects, also known as long-term side effects, are health problems that develop months or years after cancer treatment has ended. These effects can be physical, mental, or social.  We will hear from Lara Anthony, Radiotherapy Late Effects Service Lead, who will share her knowledge of the late effects from radiotherapy and other cancer treatments and advise on what support and care services are available in our region. Not everyone who has cancer treatment will suffer from late effects. We will also hear from a member of the public about their experiences, and there will be an opportunity for you to ask questions.

You can watch the recordings of previous sessions by clicking on the links below.
