Since 2016, I’ve chaired the Ross Cancer Support Group. My advocacy began after my late wife’s brain tumor diagnosis in 2004. I served invarious cancer networks, joined the West Midlands Cancer Alliance, and becameactive in multiple Expert Advisory Groups. I’m also involved with Herefordshire Healthwatch and Wye Valley Trust, dedicated to seamless, holistic patient care.

I live locally and recently joined the support group and have been involved in setting up our Facebook and Website, given my background in IT. I also act as the communications between 3rd parties such as charities and local organisations. I was diagnosed in 2017 with Bowel Cancer and now stage 4. My passion is supporting and helping others on their cancer journey.

Our Story.
We are a self-help voluntary group, run by people living with, and affected by cancer, working on a community basis since 2016 covering the Ross-on-Wye and surrounding area of this important market town in rural Herefordshire. We are here to support anyone affected by cancer, either directly or indirectly regardless of age, on a non-discrimination basis in a friendly and empathetic way. The chair, Paul Baker, having worked for many years in the cancer field was encouraged by the Macmillan Information Centre in Hereford County Hospital to set up a cancer support group to serve the local community.
