As usual we’ll be broadcasting live from this year’s Find Your Sense of Tumour conference at Centre Parks.
Find Your Sense of Tumour provides a mix of inspirational presentations, fabulous therapies and great social activities. It’s a chance to meet and share experiences with like minded individuals who know what it’s like to be diagnosed with cancer.
There’s more about the event on the Teenage Cancer Trust website
The event is full of inspirational talks and information, if you want to have a look at some previous events they’re all archived on our FYSOT channel.
