Supporting Your Wellbeing Throughout Cancer Treatment and Beyond
A cancer diagnosis can impact many aspects of life, not just your physical health. Alongside medical treatment, patients often face emotional, nutritional, physical, and practical challenges that can continue during recovery and beyond. That's why Canopy Cancer Care has developed Under the Canopy, a supportive care programme designed to help patients and their families access the additional support they may need throughout their cancer journey.
What is Under the Canopy?
Under the Canopy is Canopy Cancer Care's integrated approach to wellbeing. It brings together a range of evidence-based supportive care services that complement medical treatment and focus on the whole person, not just their diagnosis. The programme is designed to support patients before, during, and after cancer treatment, helping to improve quality of life, manage side effects, and support long-term wellbeing.
Support Tailored to Your Needs
Every cancer journey is different, and the support required can vary from person to person. Through Under the Canopy, patients may have access to a range of specialist services, including:
Emotional Wellbeing Support
It's common to experience a wide range of emotions following a cancer diagnosis. Counselling, psychology services, and other emotional support resources can help patients and their loved ones navigate the challenges that cancer can bring.
Nutrition and Dietitian Support
Maintaining good nutrition during cancer treatment is important for overall wellbeing and recovery. Specialist oncology dietitians can provide practical advice and personalised guidance to help patients meet their nutritional needs throughout treatment.
Physical Rehabilitation
Cancer treatment can affect strength, mobility, and day-to-day function. Oncology physiotherapists can provide tailored rehabilitation programmes to help patients stay active, manage symptoms, and support recovery.
Fitness and Exercise
Research shows that regular exercise can support both physical and mental wellbeing during and after cancer treatment. Patients can access guidance on safe and effective exercise programmes tailored to their individual needs.
Accessing Under the Canopy
Under the Canopy services are available to Canopy Cancer Care patients, with services varying by location and individual needs. If you would like to learn more about the support available, speak with your oncologist, nurse, or clinic team. Together, we can identify the services that may benefit you and help ensure you receive the support you need, when you need it.
