- Published
A hospital is hosting a wellbeing event to support patients who have been treated for cancer and those recently diagnosed with the disease.
Free make-up tips, benefits advice, equine therapy and wig advice are among the planned activities.
The Queen's Centre for Oncology and Haematology at Castle Hill Hospital, near Cottingham, will host the sessions on 6 November.
Claire Walker, Macmillan information health and wellbeing manager, said: "If you're a cancer survivor looking to meet and share experiences with others, we'll have someone on hand to help."
The drop-in event will take place from 10:00 to 15:00 GMT.
Ms Walker said specialist staff would be available to answer questions on a range of topics including "how you'll pay the household bills, how to manage your physical appearance or concerns over how your diagnosis may be affecting your children".
Macmillan staff will also be available to assist patients receiving treatment for cancer who live in northern Lincolnshire.
Confidential spaces to chat will be available if required.
