Becky Maskill, Christie patient“When I was referred to The Christie, it was a huge relief to me that there was a chance they could operate on me – my 3 young boys needed their mummy.”
Steve Farrow, Christie patient“When you become a patient at The Christie, you are made to feel special in the most difficult of circumstances.”
Lesley Nelson, Christie patient“With information provided by the Macmillan organisation, I attended some group sessions at Maggie’s. I found the ‘Look Good Feel Better’ and ‘Colour Me Beautiful’ sessions particularly helpful. They highlighted ways to look after my appearance and help restore my self-esteem."
