Making a will is the only way to ensure that your Estate goes to the people and causes you care about. Some of us have complicated family dynamics and things change over time.

Please don't make assumptions that your assets will go where you think, and book a simple meeting with Reiss or Lucy at Enoch Evans. If you made a Will some time ago, they can check and update it if needed as part of this offer.

During November, Enoch Evans will waive their usual fee when preparing a standard will, in lieu of a donation to us. The suggested donation is £100 if you are a single person and £150 if you and your partner make Wills at the same time. Enoch Evans are not making any charge for their time.

This is an incredibly generous offer, representing a really good saving on the usual charges and 100% of your donation goes to supporting us. You will receive exactly the same service as if you were paying the usual cost of a Will. If yu have extra or specific requirements, Enoch Evans will explain and agree any extra charges with you in advance.

It’s the perfect opportunity to take care of this essential task while supporting us, so we can continue to support adults whose lives have been affected by cancer.

There are a limited number of appointments available, so early booking is advised. Please contact Enoch Evans LLP either by telephone 0121 355 2336 or by email [email protected] to arrange a meeting with a specialist solicitor.

Thank you so much to Enoch Evans LLP, we really appreciate your ongoing support.

It is not uncommon for breast cancer patients to have lymph nodes removed, to help prevent the cancer from spreading, but this can lead to side effects such as lymphedema (fluid buildup and swelling) and limited arm/shoulder movement.

Lymph nodes are part of the lymphatic system, it moves fluid around your body, flushing out waste and fighting infections. Unfortunately, cancer cells can spread through this system and form new tumours. That's why breast cancer patients often have lymph their nodes removed from areas like the armpits, near the breastbone, and above the collarbone.

Taking care of your lymphatic system is important if you’ve had lymph nodes removed. A healthy diet full of fruits and vegetables, staying active, and complementary therapies can all help.

If you are finding that you have lymphedema or have limited movement, then Tripudio is well worth trying. Tripudio is gentle exercise based on the principles of yoga, it is really good at getting you back moving after surgery, and improving the lymphatic system. We run regular 4 week introduction programmes. Tripudio can be done standing up or sitting in a chair, so it's suitable for all fitness levels, everyone works to their own ability.

Our weekly walking group may also be a good way to be more active, they meet in Sutton Park every Monday morning and all abilities are welcome.

We also have a wide range of complementary therapies that can help with the emotional and physical impacts of cancer, we are here to support your mind, body and soul, whatever stage of your journey you are at. Please get in touch for more information about the support that we offer.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the UK. It's a cancer that we commonly associate with women, but it does affect men too. It's much rarer, around 1 in 100 cases affect men. That's around 400 cases per year.

Men need to look out for the same symptoms as women:

• puckering or dimpling of the skin, a rash or redness
• lumps, swelling, thickening or a bumpy area in one breast or armpit
• discharge from the ni**le
• ni**les turning inwards, or becoming sore or itchy
• discomfort or pain

It is really important that any changes are discussed with a doctor to ensure they are investigated quickly. The same investigations and treatments are used for men and women.

We understand how isolating it can feel when you are facing a rare type of cancer. We offer support, information, and a range of complementary therapies that can help you through challenging times. We are here for people with any type of cancer - you are not alone. Please get in touch if you need our support.
