Please note: we give priority to those with metastatic disease. For safety reasons, we ask that you check with your physician that it is reasonable for you to be away from a hospital setting for five days.

Prior to attending the retreat you will be assessed either in person or by telephone to ensure that the program is suitable to your needs.
