Being diagnosed with a serious illness, suffering with a terminal illness, or having to cope with the long term effects of a disabling mental or physical condition, can be one of the most stressful situations that we can find ourselves in.
Obviously having the right amount of information and support is crucial, as is having access to the best levels of medical care available.
We have brought together a number of web sites, that can give information about cancer and other illnesses which you may find helpful.
Cyprus Samaritans also offer support through our confidential listening service, to people who are experiencing illness or the people who are helping or caring for them.
Being very ill can be a frightening and lonely time, and watching someone you love have to go through this process can be very traumatic.
While we cannot offer practical or medical support, we can help by allowing you to express your fears and feelings in a secure and caring environment. Just knowing that you are not alone, and that there are people who will listen to you when you need them, really can help.
