Find out about living with and beyond cancer from people who have been cared for by The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre.

Many of our patients – and those around them – have kindly shared their stories to help raise awareness of cancer, our treatments and services, and the care they have received from us. 

Others have shared their stories for our Trust Board meetings so we can learn what went well and anything they think we can do better.
