• Keeping Your Future Options Open After Cancer

    Together Against Cancer Unit S1 Troon Way Business Centre, Leicester, United Kingdom

    Come and meet Justine from ME Financial Services and discover what insurances and covers you can qualify forKeeping Your Future Options Open After Cancer"After catching up with Valerie recently, I found myself thinking about one of the stories people often tell themselves after a cancer diagnosis:"I'll never be able to get insurance again."It's completely understandable. When you've been through diagnosis, treatment, scans, appointments and everything else that comes with cancer, insurance may feel like a distant concern. Many people assume that a cancer diagnosis automatically closes the door on future insurance applications.But that's not always the case.Over the last couple of years I've listened to many conversations between underwriters, medical professionals and cancer survivors on Kathryn Knowles' Practical Protection Podcast. One message comes up again and again:Future insurability isn't just about the diagnosis itself. It's also about what happens afterwards. Whilst no two situations are the same, there are some practical steps that can help keep future options open:✅ Attend follow-up appointments and scans.✅ Keep copies of consultant letters, pathology reports and treatment summaries.✅ Continue with any recommended treatment plans.✅ Don't assume a decision today will be the same decision in five or ten years' time.✅ Remember that different insurers assess cancer histories differently.✅ Take advice before cancelling any existing insurance policies.For many people, insurance options improve as more time passes after treatment, particularly when follow-up results remain clear.Of course, there are no guarantees. There's an important difference between:"I've had cancer."and "I'll never be able to get insurance again."They aren't always the same thing. If there's one thing I've learned from listening to these stories, it's that recovery isn't just about treatment. It's also about keeping as many future choices open as possible.Join me, Justine at the centre or book your ticket to give permission to Together Against Cancer to ask me to contact you.

  • Sound Bath with Kat from Berry & Bloom

    Together Against Cancer Unit S1 Troon Way Business Centre, Leicester, United Kingdom

    A Sound Bath is a deeply-immersive, full-body listening experience....A Sound Bath is a deeply-immersive, full-body listening experience that intentionally uses sound to invite gentle yet powerful therapeutic and restorative processes to nurture your mind and body.After a few minutes of guided focus on the breath, different sounds and frequencies are introduced in succession bathing you in resonance. The sounds are created by a variety of overtone-emitting instruments including crystal and Himalayan singing bowls, chimes, gong and percussion instruments.The sounds created during a Sound Bath are an invitation into a deeper state of consciousness, an opportunity to unplug from every day life. Each session is different, depending on your own needs and energy in that moment.Many people experience profound relaxation and physical release, others see images and colours. You may slip into deep meditation, tap into intuition or leave with greater mental clarity. All you need to do is have an open mind, get comfortable, and listen.A sound bath is an opportunity to unplug from the every-day, there is nothing required of you but to make yourself comfortable. If you’re coming to the centre I aim for the room to be ready for 10.30am for you to come and settle in and we will begin at 10.45am.If you’d like to bring a cushion or blanket, perhaps an eye mask as it’s daytime, you’re very welcome. Do bring some drinking water too as a sound bath can be detoxifying and drinking plenty of water afterwards helps cleanse your body.We look forward to sharing the power of sound with you.FREE for Registered Clients at the TAC Wellness Centre.Please note that this event is for our Registered Clients only.* Donations welcomePlease NoteWhen booking your ticket, Together Against Cancer will add you to their monthly mailing list and keep you informed of upcoming events.
