By making a small donation you'll be helping us to fund Cobalt’s Teenage and Young Adult Cancer Nurse, Megan Willsher
The cost of providing this service is £28,000 per year. Please help to continue to support this valuable service for young cancer patients.
My role ensures these patients are supported throughout their cancer journey and beyond, helping them to move forward with their life, as they would have without the intrusion of cancer.
