Tenovus Cancer Care Mobile Support Unit

With members of the Tenovus choir

Tenovus Cancer Care's third and newest mobile support unit rolled into the Liberty Stadium today, and I was there as Deputy Lord Mayor to meet them and look around the facility.

This is the charity's third and newest mobile support unit. It was launched in October and is the largest mobile chemotherapy space in the world. It delivers treatment to the people of Swansea and surrounding areas twice a month, offering patients shorter journey times, less waiting in hospitals and more time to spend with loved ones at difficult times.

The unit cost £700,000 and is run by money raised by the charity. They have two more units operating in Wales performing an invaluable service in bringing treatment to patients. often in inaccessible areas.

Unfortunately, I was unable to stay to listen to the Swansea Tenovus Cancer Care Sing with us choir, but I did see them in St. Mary's Church in December and will no doubt see them again during the next year.
