Yoga Benefits Women With Gynaecological Cancers

Women who have had gynaecological cancer are invited to learn more about how yoga can benefit them at Yeovil District Hospital later this month.

The GOSSIP patient support group provides advice and information for women with gynaecological cancer. It was founded by the Gynaecological Cancer Specialist Nurses based in Yeovil and Taunton in partnership with women from across Somerset and Dorset who have had gynaecological cancers (i.e. cancers of the ovary, womb, vulva or cervix).

Attending meetings enables patients to meet with other women who have a similar diagnosis and may have had similar treatments. Partners, family members and friends are welcome to go along as well. A specialist nurse is present at meetings and will be happy to answer questions and discuss concerns on a one-to-one basis.

The talk on the benefits of yoga will be given by Carol Watkins, at Yeovil Women’s Hospital on Monday 23 August between 5 and 6.30pm.

Please telephone the gynaecology department at Yeovil District Hospital on 01935 384454 for more information.
