About Frimley Gynae Cancer Support Group

History

The group was set up in 2004 by Mr Beynon, Consultant Gynaecologist at Frimley Park Hospital and has been facilitated by Frimley's Gynae Cancer Nurse specialists. The purpose of the group was to enable women who had received a diagnosis of a gynaecological cancer to meet on a regular basis. The group would provide emotional support, information, speakers and social events.

The first meeting was attended by over a hundred women and their families.

Thirteen years on and we have some original members who continue to attend our meetings.

Meetings

Meetings are held bi-monthly and we have had complimentary therapists visiting and demonstrating Reiki, Tai Chi and Indian Head Massage. We have speakers who visit the group from time to time and have had a talk by a Colour Me Beautiful Consultant and most recently the Surrey Co-ordinator from Macmillan Cancer Support gave an informative talk on the work of Macmillan. We also arrange social events for our members.
