Cancer doesn't stop for Christmas.

Sadly, the side effects can make it difficult for some people to participate fully.

We've produced some top tip videos to support patients and their loved ones with health and wellbeing issues. From managing pain caused by cancer, or lack of sleep, to coping with anxiety or the side effects of treatment, these short films have advice from therapists, dieticians and oncologists from across Surrey and Sussex.

And we've included an animated video to explain why it's important to keep in touch with your GP practice following a cancer diagnosis.

You can find all the videos here: https://surreyandsussexcanceralliance.nhs.uk/patients-and-public/health-and-wellbeing
